Homework Statement
A tube with air in it is marked off by 1cm marks up to 10cm. 0.3kg mass is pushing a plunger down to compress the air. The area of the tube is 10cm^2.
a. What is the pressure inside the sealed tube? 0.295Pa
b. What is the volume of air in the tube? 20cm^3
c. If the mass is increased to 0.6kg, what is the new volume?
d. How much mass is required to squeeze the plunger down to 2cm?
Homework Equations
F/A = F2/A2
The Attempt at a Solution
I tried to find an equation that had both volume and mass in it and was stumped. The new force of the mass is 0.6kg(9.8)N. After that I have no clue. Please help!
