14. Using LABVIEW software, model and analyze the basic pneumatic system for the
problem given below. (100)

The 2” diameter piston of the pneumatic cylinder shown in fig (shown below), retracts 4”
from its present position (P1 = 20 psi, V1 = 20 in3) due to the external load on the rod. If
the port at the blank end of the cylinder is blocked, find the new pressure, assuming
temperature does not change.
