A piston/cylinder setup contains 1 kg of air at 20°C with an initial volume of V1=0.1 m3. Initially, the piston rests on some stops, but it is possible for it to move within the cylinder without friction. To lift the piston and start such motion, an air pressure of 1400 kPa is required.

The pressure in an automobile tire depends on the temperature of the air in the tire. When the air temperature is 25 degC, the pressure gage reads 210 kPa. If the volume of the tire is 0.025 m^3, the pressure rises in the tire when the air temperature in the tire rises to 50 degC. Determine the amount of air, in kg, that must be bled off to restore pressure to its original value at this temperature. Assume the atmospheric pressure to be 100 kPa
A balloon is filled with 0.0020 m^3 of air at room temperature and at 1.01 x 10^5 Pa of atmospheric pressure. It is then placed inside a vacuum chamber where the air pressure is reduced to 500 Pa. This is an isothermal process, where the temperature is kept constant, and the balloon can reach whatever volume is allowed. Draw a sketch showing the initial and final state of the balloon. Make sure all quantities are clearly labeled. Draw a quantitative PV-graph showing how the pressure and volume of the gas inside the balloon change during this process and a qualitative energy bar chart showing the changes of the energy within the system. Please be as detailed as possible.
An elastic air balloon having a diameter of 30 cm is attached to the base of a container partially filled with water at 14°C. If the pressure of the air above the water is gradually increased from 100 kPa to 1.6 MPa, will the force on the cable change? If so, what is the percent change in the force? Assume the pressure on the free surface and the diameter of the balloon are related by P = CDn, where C is a constant and n = 22. The weight of the balloon and the air in it is negligible.
