Question:

The piston of a vertical piston–cylinder device containing a gas has a mass of 60 kg and a cross-sectional area of 0.04 m2, as shown in Fig. P1–60. The local atmospheric pressure is 0.97 bar, and the gravitational acceleration is 9.81 m/s2.

(a) Determine the pressure inside the cylinder. 

(b) If some heat is transferred to the gas and its volume is doubled, do you expect the pressure inside the cylinder to change?

Patm = 0.97 bar m = 60 kg A = 0.04 m? P = ? FIGURE P1-60
