An ideal gas at `NTP` is enclosed in an adiabatic vertical cylinder havin an area of cross section `A=27 cm^(2)` between two light movable pistons as shown in figure. Spring with force constant `K=37-- N//m` is in a relaxed state initially. Now the lower position is moved upwards a distance `h//2`, `h` being the initial length of gas column . It is observed that the upper piston moves up by a distance `h//16`. Final temperature of gas` 4//3 xx 273 K`. Take `gamma` for the gas to be `3//2`.

Which of the following statements is correct ?

A

Heat given in compression is used to do work against elastic force only.

B

Heat given in compression is used to do work against elastic force and atmospheric force.

C

No work is done during compression.

D

There is no change in internal energy.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

Heat given an adiabatic compressiont is used to work against elastic force and against atmospheric force.
