A 8.0-cm-diameter, 11-cm-long cylinder contains 0.39 g of nitrous oxide (N20). The cap on one end of the cylinder is held in place only by the pressure of the air. One day when the atmospheric pressure is 100 kPa, it takes a 184 N force to pull the cap off. What is the temperature of the gas? You need to look up other data such as the molar mass of pertinent molecules.

A 40.0-g projectile is launched by the expansion of hot gas in an arrangement shown in Figure P12.4a. The cross sectional area of the launch tube is 1.0 cm2, and the length that the projectile travels down the tube after starting from rest is 52 cm. As the gas expands, the pressure varies as shown in Figure P12.4b. The values for the initial pressure and volume are P1 = 11 105 Pa and Vi = 8.0 cm3 while the final values are Pf = 1.0 105 Pa and Vf = 8.0 cm3.

A large freshwater fish has a swim bladder with a volume of 5.0×10−45.0×10−4 m3m3. The fish descends from a depth where the absolute pressure is 3.0 atm to deeper water where the swim bladder is compressed to 60% of its initial volume. As the fish descends, the gas pressure in the swim bladder is always equal to the water pressure, and the temperature of the gas remains at the internal temperature of the fish's body. To adapt to its new location, the fish must add gas to reinflate its swim bladder to the original volume. This takes energy to accomplish. What's the minimum amount of work required to expand the swim bladder back to its original volume?

Two concrete spans of a 220-m-long bridge are placed end to end so that no room is allowed for expansion (Figure a). If the temperature increases by 16.7°C,what is the height y to which the spans rise when they buckle (Figure b)? (The coefficient of linear expansion of concrete is 1.20 10-5°C−1.)m Illustration (a) shows a concrete bridge made from two concrete spans, each of length T, laid end to end between two vertical posts. The combined length of the two horizontal spans is L. Illustration (b) shows the length of each of the two spans extends to T + ΔT. As a result, both the spans are angled upward toward their meeting point such that the center of the bridge is raised to a height of y above its initial horizontal position.
