3-7 The piston of a vertical piston-cylinder device containing a gas has a mass of 40 kg and a cross-sectional area of 0.012 m2 (Fig P3-7). The local atmospheric pressure is 95 kPa, and the gravitational acceleration is 9.81 m/s2. (a) Determine the pressure inside the cylinder. (b) If some heat is transferred to the gas and its volume is doubled, do you expect the pressure inside the cylinder to change?

5-11. The assembly consists of two sections of galvanized steel pipe connected together using a reducing coupling at B. The smaller pipe has an outer diameter of 0.75 in. and an inner diameter of 0.68 in., whereas the larger pipe has an outer diameter of 1 in. and an inner diameter of 0.86 in. If the pipe is tightly secured to the wall at C, determine the maximum shear stress developed in each section of the pipe when the couple shown is applied to the handles of the wrench.
