Problem P. 4521. (March 2013)

P. 4521. A sample of air of volume V₁=3 dm³ and of pressure p₁=6^.10⁴ Pa is confined to a fixed vertical cylinder which is closed at its bottom by a piston of cross section A=1 dm², which can move frictionlessly. The piston is connected to the closed end of the cylinder with a spring, designed for both compression and tension, of length L₀=0.6 m and of spring constant D=1000 N/m. The system is in equilibrium in this position. The external air pressure is p₀=10⁵ Pa.

a) Find the mass of the piston.

b) The air in the piston is heated slowly. How much heat must be added to the confined air in order to reach that state when the spring does not exert any force on the piston?
