The drawing shows an ideal gas confined to a cylinder by amassless piston that is attached to an ideal spring. Outside thecylinder is a vacuum. The cross-sectional area of the piston is A =2.50 × 10-3 m2. The initial pressure, volume, and temperature ofthe gas are, respectively, P0, V0 = 6.00 × 10-4 m3 and T0 = 273 K,and the spring is initially stretched by an amount x0 = 0.092 mwith respect to its unstrained length. The gas is heated, so thatits final pressure, volume, and temperature are Pf, Vf and Tf andthe spring is stretched by an amount xf = 0.14 m with respect toits unstrained length. What is the final temperature of thegas?
