Agardener uses a wheelbarrow to move soil from a truck to his garden. on the first trip from the truck to the garden, the wheelbarrow is half-full of soil and the gardener applies a certain force to cause it to accelerate. on the second trip, the wheelbarrow is full of soil. although the gardener applies the same amount of force to the wheelbarrow, he cannot move it with the same rate of acceleration. what should the gardener do to move the wheelbarrow at the same rate of acceleration for the second trip?

Air is held within a frictionless piston-cylinder container, which is oriented vertically. the mass of the piston is 0.45 kg and the cross-sectional area is 0.0030 m2. initially (state 1) the pressure of the gas is sufficient to support the weight of the piston as well as the force exerted by the atmospheric pressure ( 101.32 kpa). the volume occupied by the air within the cylinder in state 1 is 1.00 liter. one end of a spring (with spring constant k = 1000 n/m) is attached to the top of the piston, while the other end of the spring is attached to a stage that can move vertically. initially the spring is undeflected and therefore exerts no force. then the stage is then moved quasistatically downward a distance of 10.0 cm, at which point the system reaches state 2. the piston-cylinder is not insulated; rather it remains in diathermal contact with the surroundings, which are at a constant temperature of 300 k. what is the change of pressure within the container?
