A gas is confined in a 0.47-m-diameter cylinder by a piston, on which rests a w eight. The mass of the piston and weight together is 150 kg. The local acceleration of gravity is 9.813 ms-2, and atmospheric pressure b 101.57 kPa.
(a) What is the farce in newtons excited on the gas by the atmosphere, the piston, and the weight, assuming no friction between the piston and cylinder?
(b) What is the pressure of the gas in kPa?
(c) If the gas in the cylinder is heated, it expands, pushing the piston and weight upward. If the piston and weight are raised 0.83 m. what is the work done by the gas in kJ? What is the change in potential energy of the piston and weight?
