Question: Q 3 : A piston - cylinder device is filled with He gas. The mass of the piston and the weight together is 7 5

Q3: A piston-cylinder device is filled with He gas. The mass of the piston and the weight together is 75kg. The acceleration of gravity is 9.81ms2 and the atmospheric pressure is 1.01325 bar. If we assumed a frictionless piston. Determine:
a) The force excreted by the atmosphere, the piston, and the weight on the gas if the piston is 80mm in diameter.
b) The pressure of the gas.
c) If the gas is allowed to expand by pushing up the piston and the weight 375mm, what is the work done by the gas in J?
d) What is the change in potential energy of the piston and the wright after the expansion in part c)
 Q3: A piston-cylinder device is filled with He gas. The mass
