A vertical piston/cylinder has a linear spring mounted. The spring is mounted so at zero cylinder volume

Question:

A vertical piston/cylinder has a linear spring mounted. The spring is mounted so at zero cylinder volume a balancing pressure inside is 100 kPa. The cylinder contains 0.5 kg of water at 125C, 70% quality. Heat is now transferred to the water until the cylinder pressure reaches 300 kPa. How much work is done by the water during this process and what is the heat transfer?
