Question

The piston of a vertical piston-cylinder device containing a gas has a mass of 60 kg and a cross-sectional area 0.04 m2. The entire system is placed in a vacuum chamber. If temperature of the gas is 70o C. What is the pressure of gas inside the cylinder? g = 9.8 m/s2

                            

A.

0.7 bar

B.

0 bar

C.

0.3 bar

D.

0.147 bar

Answer ( Option D)

0.147 bar

Solution

Given:

Piston mass (m) = 60kg

Piston cross sectional area (A) = 0.04m2

Temperature of gas (T) = 70o C

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/ sec2


Final pressure of gas inside the cylinder = Atmospheric pressure acting on the piston + Pressure acting due to piston on gas

P final = P atm + P piston

According to question, the entire system is placed in a vacuum chamber. Therefore, P atm must be zero.
