Question

An ideal gas expands isothermally against a piston of cross section 61.0 mm2 that pushes against a spring of constant k=41.00 N/mm. The spring is initially at rest and at the end is compressed by 5.87 cm (once the gas has expanded). Calculate the heat gained or lost by the gas

Step 1

The force exerted by the spring is given by \( F = kx \), where \( k \) is the spring constant and \( x \) is the displacement of the spring. Given: - \( k = 41.00 \) N/mm - \( x = 5.87 \) cm = 5.87 * 10^-2 m = 5.87 * 10^-1 mm Calculate the force: \[ F = kx = Show more…
