- A cylinder that has a 40.0-cm radius and is 50.0 cm deep is filled with air at 20.0C and 1.00 atm (Fig. P10.74a). A 20.0-kg piston is now lowered into the cylinder, compressing the air trapped inside as it takes equilibrium height hi (Fig. P16.74b). Finally, a 25.0-kg dog stands on the piston, further compressing the air, which remains at 20C (Fig. P16.74c). (a) How far down (h) does the piston move when the dog steps onto it? (b) To what temperature should the gas be warmed to raise the piston and dog back to hi?arrow_forwardA 40.0-g projectile is launched by the expansion of hot gas in an arrangement shown in Figure P12.4a. The cross sectional area of the launch tube is 1.0 cm2, and the length that the projectile travels down the tube after starting from rest is 52 cm. As the gas expands, the pressure varies as shown in Figure P12.4b.

The cross-sectional area of the launch tube is 1.0 cm2, and the length that the projectile travels down the tube after starting from rest is 32 cm. As the gas expands, the pressure varies as shown in Figure P12.4b.
