Question:

A vertical cylinder containing air is fitted with a freely moving (frictionless) piston of 68 lbm and cross-sectional area 35 in2. The ambient pressure outside the cylinder is 14.6 psia, and the local acceleration due to gravity is 31.1 ft/s2. Determine both the absolute and gage pressures (psi) of the air inside the cylinder.
