1.19. A gas is confined in a 0.47 m diameter cylinder by a piston, on which rests a weight. The mass of the piston and weight together is 150 kg. The local acceleration of gravity is 9.813 m·s−2, and atmospheric pressure is 101.57 kPa. (a) What is the force in newtons exerted on the gas by the atmosphere, the piston, and the weight, assuming no friction between the piston and cylinder? (b) What is the pressure of the gas in kPa? (c) If the gas in the cylinder is heated, it expands, pushing the piston and weight upward. If the piston and weight are raised 0.83 m, what is the work done by the gas in kJ? What is the change in potential energy of the piston and weight?\

Answer:

a) 19094 N

b) 110.055 kPa

c) 1222 J

Explanation:

The force on the gas is the weight plus the atmospheric pressure multiplied by the piston area

F = P + p * A

F = m * g + p * π/4 * d^2

F = 150 * 9.813 + 101570 * π/4 * 0.47^2 = 19094 N

The pressure is the force divided by the area of the piston

p1 = F / A

p1 = F / (π/4 * d^2)

p1 = 19094 / (π/4 * 0.47^2) = 110055 Pa = 110.055 kPa

variation of gravitational potential energy is defined as

ΔEp = m * g * Δh

ΔEp = 150 * 9.813 * 0.83 = 1222 J

In this exercise we have to use the knowledge of force to calculate the required energies, so we have to:

a) 19094 N

b) 110.055 kPa

c) 1222 J

What is the concept of force?

In the field of physics, force is a physical action that causes deformation or that changes the state of rest or movement of a given object.

a) Knowing that the force formula is defined by:

[tex]F = P + p * A\\F = m * g + p *\pi /4 * d^2\\F = 150 * 9.813 + 101570 * \pi /4 * 0.47^2 = 19094 N[/tex]

b) Knowing that the force exerted by an area is equal to the pressure in that area, we have:

[tex]p_1 = F / A\\p_1 = F / (\pi /4 * d^2)\\p_1 = 19094 / (\pi /4 * 0.47^2) = 110055 Pa = 110.055 kPa[/tex]

c)So calculating the potential energy we have:

[tex]\Delta E_p = m * g * \Delta h\\\Delta E_p = 150 * 9.813 * 0.83 = 1222 J[/tex]
