An air pistol contains compressed air in a small cylinder. Assume that the volume is 1 in.3, pressure is 10 atm, and the temperature is 80 F when armed. A bullet, m = 0.04 lbm, acts as a piston initially held by a pin (trigger); when released, the air expands in an isothermal process (T = constant). If the air pressure is 1 atm in the cylinder as the bullet leaves the gun, find
a. The final volume and the mass of air.
b. The work done by the air and work done on the atmosphere.
c. The work to the bullet and the bullet exit velocity.
