Question:

A piston/cylinder has 5 m of liquid 20oC water on top of the piston (m = 0) with cross-sectional area of 0.1 m2, see Fig. P2.57. Air is let in under the piston that rises and pushes the water out over the top edge. Find the necessary work to push all the water out and plot the process in a P-V diagram.
