A moveable cylindrical piston inside a frictionless cylinder has a radius of 5.84 cm. It is attached by a crankshaft to a wheel. Before the fuel burns, the pressure in the chamber is 1 atm (1.013 X 10^5 N/m^2) and its temperature is 20 C (room temperature). a) When the fuel/air in the chamber is burned, it is heated to 180 deg C. Calculate the initial force (in newtons) on the left side of the piston. QUESTION 2 Assume that the answer to part 1 is 818 N. If the increased pressure causes the piston to move 23.2 cm to the right, calculate the work done (in joules) on the wheel by the gas. (Assume both pressure and temperature remain constant while the piston moves.) QUESTION 3 Assume the answer to part 2 was 699 joules. If the cycle repeats 38 times per second, calculate the power (in watts) produced by the system (which is an internal combustion engine). QUESTION 4 Assume the answer to part 3 is 36,294 watts. You can find from a 'conversion table' that: 1 Horsepower 746 Watts. Calculate the power produced by the system in horsepower.
