Problem 0-4-23
A man weighing 104 kg is standing on the piston head of a vertical piston-cylinder device
containing nitrogen. The gas is now heated by an electrical heater until the man is slowly
lifted by a height of 1.12 m . The piston is weightless and has an area of 1.56m2. The
outside pressure is 100 kPa . Assume the acceleration due to gravity to be 9.81ms2.
Determine the initial pressure inside the cylinder.
Express your answer to three significant figures.
