Question:

The piston of a vertical piston-cylinder device containing a gas has a mass of 40 kg and a cross-sectional area of 0.012 m2 (Fig P3–7). The local atmospheric pressure is 95 kPa, 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?
