An airtight dispenser for drinking water is 25 cm × 10 cm in horizontal dimensions and 20 cm tall. It has a tap of negligible volume that opens at the level of the bottom of the dispenser. Initially, it contains Water to a level 3.0 cm from the top and air at the ambient pressure, 1.00 atm, from there to the top.

Many fish maintain buoyancy with a gas-filled swim bladder. The pressure inside the swim bladder is the same as the outside water pressure, so when a fish descends to a greater depth, the gas compresses. Adding gas to restore the original volume requires energy. A fish at a depth where the absolute pressure is 3.0 atm has a swim bladder with the desired volume of 5.0 × 10-4 m3. The fish now descends to a depth where the absolute pressure is 5.0 atm.a. The gas in the swim bladder is always the same temperatureas the fish’s body. What is the volume of the swim bladder at the greater depth?b. The fish remains at the greater depth, slowly adding gas to the swim bladder to return it to its desired volume. How much work is required?
A vertical piston–cylinder device contains a gas at a pressure of 100 kPa. The piston has a mass of 5 kg and a diameter of 12 cm. Pressure of the gas is to be increased by placing some weights on the piston.
