5. Steam is held in two compartments separated by a membrane. The total volume is 777 ft3, and the volume of compartment B is 280 ft3. The specific volume of the steam in B is 9.5 ft3/lbm. The membrane breaks and the resulting specific volume is 12.75 ft3/lbm. Determine the original specific volume in compartment A in ft3/lbm.
