4. Piston-Cylinder Air Pump: A piston-cylinder system in a pneumatic control system contains air and has a hole at its end (see figure). The piston moves at a constant rate to the right, such that the mass flow rate exiting the hole is steady at \(0.100\mathrm{~g}/\mathrm{s}\), and the velocity of the gas going through the hole is small. The cylinder is insulated (adiabatic) and the temperature of the air remains constant (in both the cylinder and the exiting flow) at 32.2 C . What is the power (work per unit time) supplied to the piston in units of Watts.
