A safety valve with a 2.5-inch diameter disk has a compressed spring applying 3,600 lbf to the top of the valve disk in opposition to system pressure. The approximate system pressure at which the safety valve will open is: a. 184 psig b. 459 psig c. 734 psig d. 917 psig

A pressure release valve is made from a spring keeping a disc pushed into a hole in a pressurized tank. The hole has an area of 382 mm2. If the spring has a spring rate of 12800 N/m how much would it need to be compressed so the release valve stays closed to a maximum pressure of 470 kPag?

A $5-\mathrm{kg}$ piston in a cylinder with diameter of $100 \mathrm{mm}$ is loaded with a linear spring and the outside atmospheric pressure of $100 \mathrm{kPa}$ as shown in Fig. P2.83. The spring exerts no force on the piston when it is at the bottom of the cylinder, and for the state shown, the pressure is $400 \mathrm{kPa}$ with volume $0.4 \mathrm{L}$. The valve is opened to let some air in, causing the piston to rise $2 \mathrm{cm} .$ Find the new pressure.
