Chapter 1.11, Problem 60P
The piston of a vertical piston-cylinder device containing a gas has a mass of 60 kg and a cross-sectional area of 0 04 m2, as shown in Fig P1-60. The local atmospheric pressure is 0.97 bar, and the gravitational acceleration is 9 81 m/s2. (a) Determine the pressure inside the cylinder. (b) If some heat is transferred to the gas and its volume is doubled, do you expect the pressure inside the cylinder to change?
