7. A 25 kg piston is above a gas in a long vertical cylinder. Now the piston

is released from rest and accelerates up in the cylinder reaching the
end 5 m higher at a velocity of 25 m/s. The gas pressure drops during
the process so the average is 600 kPa with an outside atmosphere at
100 kPa. Neglect the change in gas kinetic and potential energy, and
find the needed change in the gas volume.

8. Let N be the smallest positive integer whose digits add up to 2015.

What is the sum of digits of N+1?

Answer 9
The smallest positive integer will have as few digits as possible, to
achieve this, it should have as many 9 digits as possible.
2015
=223 remainder 8
9
Digit N has 223 9 digit one 8
For it to be the smallest possible integer, the 8 should be on the
highest place value. If one were added to the digit all 9 will become
zero and 8 will become 9. The sum of digits of N+1 = 9
