Answer:
P₂ = 1.22 kPa
Explanation:
This problem can be solved using the equation of state:

where,
P₁ = initial pressure = 1 KPa
P₂ = final pressure = ?
V₁ = initial Volume = 1 liter
V₂ = final volume = 1.1 liter
T₁ = initial temperature = 290 k
T₂ = final temperature = 390 k
Therefore,

<u>P₂ = 1.22 kPa</u>
There are some missing data in the text of the problem. I've found them online:
a) coefficient of friction dry steel piston - steel cilinder: 0.3
b) coefficient of friction with oil in between the surfaces: 0.03
Solution:
a) The force F applied by the person (300 N) must be at least equal to the frictional force, given by:

where

is the coefficient of friction, while N is the normal force. So we have:

since we know that F=300 N and

, we can find N, the magnitude of the normal force:

b) The problem is identical to that of the first part; however, this time the coefficienct of friction is

due to the presence of the oil. Therefore, we have:
