Question:
As shown in Fig.P1.41m, air is contained in a vertical piston-cylinder assembly fitted with an electrical resistor. The atmosphere exerts a pressure of 14.lbf/in2 on the top piston, which has a mass of 100 lb and face area of 1 ft2. As electric current passes through the resistor, the volume of the air increases while the piston moves smoothly in the cylinder. The local acceleration of gravity is g= 32.0ft/s2. Determine the pressure of the air in the piston-cylinder assembly, in lbf/in.2 and psig.

As a university student in the USA, I enjoyed interacting with people from different cultures and ethnic groups. Together with friends, we travelled widely in the USA and in Europe (UK, France, Denmark, Germany, Turkey, etc).
So, I look forward to tutoring you. I believe that it will be exciting to meet them.
In Physics, a force is an influence that can change the motion of an object. A force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity, i.e., to accelerate. Force can also be described intuitively as a push or a pull. A force has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity. In this video, the concept of force and torque is demonstrated with the practical application of changing the flat tire of the car.
