11. A piston-cylinder apparatus has an initial volume of 1.00ft3.

a) The apparatus is filled with air at 100 lbf/in2 gage and 68°F.The piston is moved outward until the pressure is atmospheric, 14.7lbf/in2 absolute. Assuming that temperature remains constant andthat the air behaves as an ideal gas, what is the final volume?What is the work done by the air on the piston?

b) The apparatus is filled with water at 100 lbf/in2 gage and 68°F.The piston is moved outward until the pressure is atmospheric, 14.7lbf/in2 absolute. Assuming that temperature remains constant andthat the water behaves as an incompressible liquid, what is thefinal volume? What is the work done by the water on thepis-ton?

c) For safety reasons, pressure vessels are usually tested withwater pressure rather than with air pressure. How do you explainthis in terms of the answers to (a) and (b)?
