Question:

A cylinder containing a gas is fitted with a piston (see the above sketch). The cross-sectional area of the piston is 0.029m2. Assume that there is no frictional force at the piston–cylinder wall interface. The atmospheric pressure is 0.1035 MPa and the acceleration due to gravity is 30.1 ft/s2. To produce an absolute pressure in the gas of 0.1517 MPa, what mass (kg) of the piston is required?
