  1. Air is held inside a non-insulated cylinder using a piston (mass M = 25 kg and area A = 100 cm²) and stoppers (of negligible area), as shown in the figure. The initial pressure P1 and temperature T1 of air inside the cylinder are 200 kPa and 400° C1 respectively, The ambient pressure P and temperature T are 100 kPa and 27° C respectively. The temperature of the air inside the cylinder (°C) at which the piston will begin to move is ________(correct to two deeimal places).
    1. T2 = 520.03 °C
    2. T2 = 150.03 °C
    3. T2 = 146.03 °C
    4. T2 = 6.03 °C
    5. T2 = 14.03 °C
