Determine the spring constant of the spring

A gas fills the right portion of a horizontal cylinder whose radius is 5.57 cm. The initial pressure of the gas is 2.91 x 105 Pa. A frictionless movable piston separates the gas from the left portion of the cylinder that is evacuated and contains an ideal spring, as the drawing shows. The piston is initially held in place by a pin. The spring is initially unstrained, and the length of the gas-filled portion is 15.9 cm. When the pin is removed and the gas is allowed to expand, the length of the gas-filled chamber doubles. The initial and final temperatures are equal. Determine the spring constant of the spring.

Find the oxygen concentration at the interior end of tube : Insects do not have lungs as we do, nor do they breathe through their mouths. Instead, they have a system of tiny tubes, called tracheae, through which oxygen diffuses into their bodies. The tracheae begin at the surface of the insect's body and p..
