Consider a piston/cylinder assembly with a cross sectional area of 0.15 m2 that has compressed a spring. The pressure in the cylinder enclosed by the piston is 180 kPa and the floating pressure of the piston (the pressure required to float the piston without a spring) is 110 kPa. Determine the force exerted by the spring in [kN]. Include 3 significant figures in your final answer.
