A sealed piston-cylinder assembly initially contains a gas at temperature T₁, pressure P , and volume ₁. The piston has a mass m, a cross-sectional area A, and its top surface is subjected to atmospheric pressure. The gas undergoes a heating process and reaches equilibrium state a new characterized by a temperature T₂, pressure P₂, and volume V₂. piston mass: m cross-sectional area: A Paim T₁,U₁, P, State 1 heating P atm T₂, U₂, P₂ 2' State 2 By writing a force balance for the piston at each state, demonstrate that the gas pressure remained constant during the heating process.
