of another. Neglecting the presence of atmosphere, draw the free body diagram of the
book at the bottom to determine the vertical force on its (a) top and (b) bottom faces in
kN.

0-1-9 [XR] A block with a mass of 10 kg is at rest on a plane inclined at 25o to the
horizontal. If μs = 0.6, determine the range of the horizontal push force F if the block is
(a) about to slide down, and (b) about to slide up.

0-1-12 [XS] A mass of 100 kg is placed on the piston of a vertical piston-cylinder device
containing nitrogen. The piston is weightless and has an area of 1 m2. The outside
pressure is 100 kPa. Determine (a) the pressure inside the cylinder. The mass placed on
the piston is now doubled to 200 kg. Also, additional nitrogen is injected into the cylinder
to double the mass of nitrogen. (b) Determine the pressure inside under these changed
conditions. Assume temperature to remain unchanged at 300 K and R for nitrogen to be
0.296 kJ/kg-K.

0-1-14 [XA] A piston-cylinder device contains 0.02 m3 of hydrogen at 300 K. It has a
diameter of 10 cm. The piston (assumed weightless) is pulled by a connecting rod
perpendicular to the piston surface. If the outside conditions are 100 kPa and 300 K, (a)
determine the pull force necessary in kN to create a pressure of 50 kPa inside. (b) The
piston is now released; as it oscillates back and forth and finally comes to equilibrium,
the temperature inside is measured as 600 K (reasons unknown). What is the pressure of
hydrogen at equilibrium? (c) What-if Scenario: What would be the answer in part (a) if
the gas were oxygen instead?
