A cylindrical tube ofuniform cross sectional area A is fitted with two frictionless pistons, as shown in figure-2.46. The pistons are connected to each other by a metallic wire. Initially the pressure of the gas is equal to atmospheric pressure P_0 and temperature is T^0 . If the temperature of the gas is increased to 2T_0 , find the tension in the wire.

Consider a vertical tube open at both ends. The tube consistss of two parts, each of different cross sections and each part having a piston which can move smoothly in respective tubes. The two piston which can move smoothly in respective tube wire. The piston are joined together by an inextensible wire. The combined mass of the two piston is 5 kg and area of cross section of the upper piston is 10 cm^(2) greater than that of the lower piston. Amount of gas enclosed by the pistons is 1 mol . When the gas is heated slowly, pistons move by 50 cm . Find the rise in the temperature of the gas in the form X//R K , where R is universal gas constant. Use g = 10 m//s^(2) and outside pressure = 10^(5) N//m^(2)) .

A cylindrical tube of uniform cross-sectional area A is fitted with two air tight frictionless pistons. The pistons are connected to each other by a metallic wire. Initially the pressure of the gas is P_0 and temperature is T_0 , atmospheric pressure is also P_0 . Now the temperature of the gas is increased to 2T_0 , the tension in the wire will be

A cylindrical tube of cross-sectional area A has two air tight frictionless pistons at its two ends. The pistons are tied with a straight two ends. The pistons are tied with a straight piece of metallic wire. The tube contains a gas at atmospheric pressure P _(0) and temperature T _(0). If temperature of the gas is doubled then the tension inthe wire is -

Initially, the temperature of the gas is T_(0) and its pressure is p_(0) which equals the atmospheric pressure, (a)What is the tention in the wire?(b)What will be the tention if the temperature is increased to 2T_(0)?

A smooth vertical tube having two different cross sections is open from both the ends but closed by two sliding pistions as shown in Fig. and tied with an inextensible string. One mole of an ideal gas is enclosed between the piston The difference in cross-sectional areas of the two pistons is given Delta S . The masses of piston are m_(1) and m_(2) for larger and smaller one, respectively. Find the temperature by which tube is raised so that the pistons will be displaced by a distance l. Take atmospheric pressure equal to P_(0)

In a cylindrical container two pistons enclose gas in two compartments as shown in the figure. The pistons have negligible thickness and can move without friction. The sys- tem is originally in equilibrium. The outer piston is slowly moved out by 10 cm and the inner piston is found to move by 4 cm. Find the distance of the inner piston in equilibrium from the closed end of the cylinder if the outer piston is slowly moved out of the cylinder. Assume temperature of the gas to remain constant.
