A cylinder is heated to cause a piston to move upwards using the expansionof gas inside it. If pressure remains constant, and the initial and finaltemperatures are 500R and 7OOR respectively, how much will the pistonmove up(in) if the initial volume is 1ft3, and the area of cylinder is 60in2?Neglect the weight of the piston.

PV = nRT P is constant. V1/T1 = V2/T2 V1/V2 = T1/T2 V1 = 1ft^3 T1 = 500 R T2 = 700 R A = 60 in^2 l…
