Question:

Suppose you have a setup similar to the one depicted in Figure 7-8 except that there are two different weights rather than two equal weights. One weight is a steel cylinder 10.00 cm in diameter and 25 cm long, the other weight produces a pressure of 745 Torr. The temperature of the gas in the cylinder in which the expansion takes place is 25.0 °C. The piston restraining the gas has a diameter of 12.00 cm, and the height of the piston above the base of the gas expansion cylinder is 8.10 cm. The density of the steel is 7.75 g/cm3. How much work is done when the steel cylinder is suddenly removed from the piston?
