A 15.4-lb piston is fitted in a cylinder with an area of 0.02 ft2. The cylinder contains gas. The piston-cylinder assembly is in a centrifuge that creates an acceleration of 20 m/s2 in the direction of piston motion towards the gas. Find the gas pressure in kPa. Assume standard atmospheric pressure outside the cylinder.
