A cylinderis fitted with a piston beneath which is a spring, as in the attachment.  The cylinder is open to the air at the top.  The sprink constant is 4300 N/m. The piston has negligible mass and a radius of 0.032.  When the air beneath the piston is completely pumped out, how much does the atmospheric pressure cause the spring to compress? How much work does the atmospheric pressure do in compressing the spring.
