Consider the piston-cylinder assembly shown below. Heavy weights are added to the piston, compressing the gas. Assume that
the gas reaches an internal pressure of 1.5 bar after the compression is done. The pressure outside the piston-cylinder is 1 bar. We
also know that the piston diameter is 20 [cm.] With how much force doe the gas push upward on the piston (in Newtons?)

- You have 4 springs, one each 3.5, 6, 8.5, 11 newtons per meter. How close an equivalent stiffness to the average of the four springs (7.25 newtons per meter [N/m]) can you make using only these springs? You may use all four springs to do this, but you may use less if that will yield an equivalent stiffness closer to the average.arrow_forward1.1 s) The overall size of the system (i.e. the shell) is 5.8 inch ID and a 27-inch long tube section.
