The cylinder in (Figure 1) has a moveable piston attached to a spring. The cylinder's cross-section area is 10 cm2 , it contains 0.0052 mol of gas, and the spring constant is 1500 N/m . At 18 ∘C the spring is neither compressed nor stretched. Figure1 of 1 A vertical piston with a cross section area of 10 square centimeters closes a horizontal cylinder as its base. The piston is connected to a horizontal spring with a spring constant of 1500 newtons per meter attached to a wall outside of the cylinder. Part A How far is the spring compressed if the gas temperature is raised to 200 ∘C ?
