The problem sketch illustrates a spring-loaded pressure relief valve. When the valve is seated as shown, the spring is compressed x = 0.1 pushes down on a disk, which has

a D = 1 cm diameter the disk has a mass of m = 34 g one side of the valve is exposed to atmospheric pressure at patm = 100 kpa and the other is exposed to a internal pressure the spring constant is k = 5000n/m a. Determine the internal pressure at which the valve opens (in kPa and lbf/in2). b. Generate a plot showing how the openingp ressure and spring constant are related.
