a. Air is contained within a vertical piston-cylinder assembly as shown below. On its top, the 12.5-kg piston with a diameter of 125 mm is attached to a spring and exposed to an atmospheric pressure of 1.01 bar. Initially, the piston head is at a position such that the spring exerts no force on it. The valve is then opened until the pressure of air is 435 kPa and the volume is 0.50 L. When the valve is further opened to let additional air in, the piston rises 2.75 cm more. Ignoring friction between the piston and the cylinder wall, determine the pressure of the air within the cylinder when the piston is (a) in its initial position and (b) in its final position, in atm. Note that the force exerted by the spring as the air expands within the cylinder varies linearly with x. Air Figure Air supply line

A piston-cylinder assembly contains air at 210 kPa and occupies a volume of 0.01m. Thepiston is attached to one end of a spring and the other end of the spring is fixed to a wall. Theforce exerted by the spring on the piston is proportional to the decrease in the length of thespring. The ambient atmospheric pressure is 100 kPa. Now, the air in the cylinder is heated tillthe volume is doubled and at this instant it is found that the pressure of the air in the cylinderis 600 kPa. Sketch the process on p-v diagram and calculate work done by the gas.
