Question

An expandable cylinder has its top connected to a spring with force constant 2.00 x 10³ N/m (Fig. P10.64). The cylinder is filled with 5.00 L of gas with the spring relaxed at a pressure of 1.00 atm and a temperature of 20.0°C. (a) If the lid has a cross-sectional area of 0.0100 m² and negligible mass, how high will the lid rise when the temperature is raised to 250°C? (b) What is the pressure of the gas at 250°C?
