A gas is contained in a vertical, frictionless piston cylinder device. The piston has a mass of 2 kg and a crosssectional area of 35 cm2. A compressed spring above the piston exerts a force of 68 N on the piston. If the atmospheric pressure is 90 kPa, determine the pressure inside the cylinder in kPa
An unknown gas is sealed in a piston-cylinder device as shown. The mass of the piston is 7.26 kg and its cross-sectional area is 35 cm^2. Due to the force exerted by the gas, the spring above the piston was compressed and exerts a force of 64 N on the piston. Determine the pressure inside the cylinder in psi.
