A cylinder is fitted with a piston, beneath which is a spring,
as in the drawing. The cylinder is open to the air at the top.
Friction is absent. The spring constant of the spring is 4600 N/m.
The piston has a negligible mass and a radius of 0.020 m.
(a) When the air beneath the piston is completely
pumped out, how much does the atmospheric pressure cause the spring
to compress? (b) How much work does the
atmospheric pressure do in compressing the spring?

Your answer is partially correct. Try again. A cylinder is fitted with a piston, beneath which is a spring, as in the drawing. The cylinder is open to the air at the top. Friction is absent. The spring constant of the spring is 3400 N/m. The piston has a negligible mass and a radius of 0.019 m. (a) When the air beneath the piston...
Air contained within a vertical piston-cylinder assembly is shown in Figure 1. On its top, the 10-kg piston is attached to a spring and exposed to an atmospheric pressure of 1 bar. Initially, the bottom of the piston is at x = 0, and the spring exerts a negligible force on the piston. The valve is opened and air enters the cylinder from the supply line, causing the volume of the air within the cylinder...
Question 1 Air is contained in a vertical piston-cylinder assembly fitted with an electrical heater. The atmospheric pressure is 100 kPa and piston has a mass of 50 kg and a face area of 0.1 m . Electric current passes through the heater, and the volume of air slowly increases by 0.045 m. The mass of the air is 0.3 kg and its specific internal energy increases by 42.2 kJ/kg.

Question Two (10 Marks] Air is contained in vertical piston-cylinder assembly fitted with an electrical resistor. The atmosphere exerts a pressure of 1 bar on the top of the piston, which has a mass of 45 kg and a face area of 0.09 m². Electric current passes through the resistor, and the volume of the air slowly increases by 0.45 m while its pressure remains constant. The mass of the air is 0.27 kg. and its specific internal energy increases...
A closed cylinder of 0.25 m diameter is fitted with a light frictionless piston The piston is retained in position by a catch in the cylinder wall and the volume on one side of the piston force of 120 N on the Example 2.5 contains air at pressure of 750 kN/m2.

5.6 A vertical open-ended cylinder of 80 mm bore and 200 mm length contains air. It is fitted with a close-fitting piston of mass 8 kg. If atmospheric temperature is 15°C, determine the equilibrium position of the face of the piston above the base of the cylinder. Neglect friction. To what temperature would the air in the cylinder need to be raised in order to return the piston to the top position? 173 mm; 59.4°C
5.12 A long vertical cylinder of 100 mm bore, open at the top, contains 0.005 kg of allowed to settle to an equilibrium position. Heat energy is then supplied and the pistorn atmospheric air at 15°C. A close-fitting piston of mass 15 kg is placed in the cylinder and rises 300 mm. If friction is negligible, determine: (a) the absolute pressure of the air in the cylinder; (b) the heat energy supplied; (e) the change in internal energy of the...
A vertical piston-cylinder contains 1.5 lbm of air. The piston has a mass of 6 Ibm and a face area of 10 in2. The air initially occupies a volume of 30.6 in3 and has a specific internal energy of 225 BTU/lbm. The atmosphere exerts a pressure of 1 atm on the top of the piston. Heat transfer occurs slowly during the process between the air in the piston and the surroundings, and the volume of the air decreases to 15.0...
