An engineer plans to design a levitating piston which can support loads up to 500kg. He decides to make a cylindrical chamber with radius of 0.5m with a moving piston which weighs 20kg. The chamber is filled with 10 moles of a diatomic ideal gas which is initially kept at 200K. By adding loads on the piston, the gas underneath is heated such that the height of the piston remains unchanged. (Assume that heating process is happening extremely fast such that the height of the piston remains constant while the gas is heated)
a) When there is no load on the piston, what is the pressure of the gas inside the chamber?
b) What is the temperature of the gas when maximum load is added to the piston?
