Question: As shown in the figure below, m = 0 . 0 0 5 kg of air is contained in an adiabatic piston - cylinder

"As shown in the figure below, m =0.005 kg of air is contained in an adiabatic piston-cylinder apparatus that rests on a flat surface. The piston, which is massless, is attached to a spring with spring constant k =36,415 N/m and a free length L0=0.068 m. Initially the piston is held in place by a pin with the air in an unknown initial state. For this initial condition, the length of the spring is L1=0.1 m. The pin is removed and the system comes to a new equilibrium state for which the spring has a new length L2=0.029 m and the air has a volume of V2=0.005 m3. The piston has an area A =0.003 m2. The atmosphere acting on the piston has a pressure of Patm =105 Pa. The air can be modelled as an ideal gas with cv =716 J/kgK and R =287 J/kgK.
Find the pressure of the air inside the piston-cylinder apparatus in state 2 in units of Pa. Provide the answer as a whole number (zero decimal places)."
