shows a cylindrical tube of cross-sectional area A fitted with two frictionless pistons. The pistons are connected to each other by a metallic wire. 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)?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

We gave,
` ((P-1)(V_1)/T_1)= ((P_2)(V_2)/(T_2))`
` rArr ((P_0)V/ (T_0)) = ((P'V)/2T_0)`
` rArr P' = 2P_0`
` Net pressure = P_0 outward `
` :. Tension in wire = (P_0)A`
` Where A is area of tube. `

Figure shows an adiabatic cylindrical tube of volume (V_0) divided in two parts by a frictionless adiabatic separator . Initially, the separator is kept in the middle, an ideal gas at pressure (P_1) and the temperatures (T_1) is injected into the left part and the another ideal gas at pressures (P_2) and temperature (T_2) is injected into the right part. (C_p / C_v = gamma) is the same for both the gases. The separator is slid slowly and is released at a position where it can stay in equilibrium. Find (a) the volumes of the parts, (b) the heat given to the gas in the left part and (c) the final common pressure of the gases.
