Chapter 1.11, Problem 60P
The piston of a vertical piston-cylinder device containing a gas has a mass of 60 kg and a cross-sectional area of 0 04 m2, as shown in Fig P1-60. The local atmospheric pressure is 0.97 bar, and the gravitational acceleration is 9 81 m/s2. (a) Determine the pressure inside the cylinder. (b) If some heat is transferred to the gas and its volume is doubled, do you expect the pressure inside the cylinder to change?

7. During a picnic on a hot summer day, all the cold drinks disappeared quickly, and the only available drinks were those at the ambient temperature of 85°F. In an effort to cool a 12-fluid-oz drink in a can, a person grabs the can and starts shaking it in the iced water of the chest at 32oF. Using the properties of water for the drink, determine the mass of ice that will melt by the time the canned drink cools to 37°F. Draw a figure or FBD that will support the problem. Explain each step by step formula.
