The area of cross-section of the two vertical arms of a hydraulic press are 1 `cm ^(2)` and `10 cm^(2)` respectively. A force of 10N applied. As shown in the figure, to a tight fitting light piston in the thinner arm balances a force F applied to the corresponding piston in the thicker arm. Assuming that the levels of water in both the arms are the same, we can conclude:-

A

F=100N

B

F=50N

C

F=25N

D

F, as applied, cannot balance the effect of the force on the first piston

An ideal monoatomic gas is confined in a cylinder by a spring-loaded piston of cross-section 8.0xx10^-3m^2 . Initially the gas is at 300K and occupies a volume of 2.4xx10^-3m^3 and the spring is in its relaxed (unstretched, unompressed) state, fig. The gas is heated by a small electric heater until the piston moves out slowly by 0.1m. Calculate the final temperature of the gas and the heat supplied (in joules) by the heater. The force constant of the spring is 8000 N//m , atmospheric pressure is 1.0xx10^5 Nm^-2 . The cylinder and the piston are thermally insulated. The piston is massless and there is no friction between the piston and the cylinder. Neglect heat loss through lead wires of the heater. The heat capacity of the heater coil is negligible. Assume the spring to be massless.
