Answer:
The spring is compressed by 0.275 meters.
Explanation:
For equilibrium of the gas and the piston the pressure exerted by the gas on the piston should be equal to the sum of weight of the piston and the force the spring exerts on the piston
Mathematically we can write
we know that
Now the force exerted by an spring compressed by a distance 'x' is given by
Using the above quatities in the above relation we get
