Suppose a monatomic ideal gas is contained within a vertical cylinder that is fitted with a movable piston. The piston is frictionless and has a negligible mass. The area of the piston is 3.18 x 10-2 m2, and the pressure outside the cylinder is 1.01 x 105 Pa. Heat (2986 J) is removed from the gas. Through what distance does the piston drop
