Randall D. Knight — A Macroscopic Description of Matter: Problem 73
The cylinder in FIGURE CP18.73 has a moveable piston attached to a spring. The cylinder’s cross-section area is 10 cm², it contains 0.0040 mol of gas, and the spring constant is 1500 N/m. At 20°C the spring is neither compressed nor stretched. How far is the spring compressed if the gas temperature is raised to 100°C?
