Air in a cylinder is suddenly compressed by a piston. which is then maintained at the same rosition. With the passage of time

A gas is contained in a metallic cylinder fitted with a piston.the piston is suddenly moved in to compress the gas and is maintained at this position. As time passes the pressure of the gas in the cylinder

A weightless piston divides a thermally insulated cylinder into two parts of volumes V and 3V.2 moles of an ideal gas at pressure P = 2 atmosphere are confined to the part with volume V =1 litre. The remainder of the cylinder is evacuated. The piston is now released and the gas expands to fill the entire space of the cylinder. The piston is then pressed back to the initial position. Find the increase of internal energy in the process and final temperature of the gas. The ratio of the specific heats of the gas, gamma =1.5 .

There is a soap bubble of radius 2.4 xx 10^(-4)m in air cylinder at a pressure of 10^(5) N//m^(2) . The air in the cylinder is compressed isothermal untill the radius of the bubble is halved. Calculate teh new pressure of air in the cylinder. Surface tension of soap solution is 0.08 Nm^(-1) .

A gas for which gamma=1.5 is suddenly compressed to 1//4 th of the initial volume. Then the ratio of the final to initial pressure is

A fixed thermally conducting cylinder has a radius R and height L_0 . The cylinder is open at ita bottom and has a small hole at its top. A piston of mass M is held at a distance L from the top surface, as shown in the figure. The atmospheric pressure is P_0 . While the piston is at a distance 2L from the top, the hole at the top is sealed. The piston is then released, to a position where it can stay in equilibrium. In this condition, the distance of the piston from the top is

A cylindrical container is divided into three parts by two tight fitting pistons. The pistons are connected by a spring. The region between the pistons is vacuum and the other two parts have same number of moles of an ideal gas. Initially, both the gas chambers are at temperature T_(0) and the spring is compressed by 1 m. Length of both gas chambers is 1 m in this position. Now the temperature of the left and right chambers are raised to (4T_(0))/(3) and (5T_(0))/(3) respectively. Find the final compression in the spring in equilibrium. Assume that the pistons slide without friction
