Question: 2 . 9 8 A cylinder has a thick piston initially held by a pin, as shown in Fig. P 2 . 9 8 .

2.98 A cylinder has a thick piston initially held by a pin, as shown in Fig. P2.98. The cylinder contains carbon dioxide at 200 kPa and ambient temper- ature of 290 K. The metal piston has a density of 8000kg /(m ^3) and the atmospheric pressure is 101 kPa. The pin is now removed, allowing the piston to move, and after a while the gas returns to ambient temperature. Is the piston against the stops?
