An unknown gas is sealed in a piston-cylinder device as shown. The mass of the piston is 7.26 kg and its cross-sectional area is 35 cm^2. Due to the force exerted by the gas, the spring above the piston was compressed and exerts a force of 64 N on the piston. Determine the pressure inside the cylinder in psi. Take the atmospheric pressure to be 101175 Pa.
