An 8.0-cm-diameter, well-insulated vertical cylinder containing nitrogen gas is sealed at the top by a 5.1 kg frictionless piston. The air pressure above the piston is 100 kPa. a. What is the gas pressure inside the cylinder? b. Initially, the piston height above the bottom of the cylinder is 26 cm. What will be the piston height if an additional 3.5 kg are placed on top of the piston?
