Question: A gas may be approximated to have a temperature - independent heat capacity at constant volume of ? b a r ( C ) V

A gas may be approximated to have a temperature-independent heat capacity at constant volume of ?bar(C)V=52R. That gas, acting as an ideal gas, is trapped in a piston system as depicted in the right-hand drawing of Figure 2.7. Assume that in the initial state, the interior cavity of the cylindrical piston system holding the gas is 5 cm high and 5 cm in radius. The radius of the sprocket is 3.1831 cm . The initial temperature of the gas is 400 K and its initial pressure is 10 atm . After a reversible adiabatic expansion over a certain span, the work performed is 472.1 J . The mass is 13.958 kg . Assume at the start of the expansion, the weight is hung from a point on the cam extending horizontally to the right
of the pivot point. Write a Matlab program to calculate and plot the shape of the cam required to facilitate the reversible process. Assume the pivot point of the cam is the origin of the coordinate system. Write out the logic and calculations used to solve the problem.
