Two vessels A and B of equal volume (V_0) are connected by a narrow tube which can be closed by a value. The vessels are fitted with piston which can be moved to change the volumes. Initially, the valve is open and the vessels contain an ideal gas (C_p / C_v = gamma ) at atomspheric pressures (P_0) and atmoshpeheric temperature (T_0) . The walls of the vessels A are diathermic and those of B are adiabatic. The value is now closed and the pistons are slowly pulled out to increase the volumes of the of the vessels to dobuled the original value.(a) Find the temperatures and pressures in the two vessels. (b) The value is now opened for sufficeint time so that the gases acquire a common tempertures and pressures . Find the new values of the temperatuere and the pressures.

Water leaks out from an open tank through a hole of area 2mm^2 in the bottom. Suppose water is filled up to a height of 80 cm and the area of cross section of the tankis 0.4 m^2 . The pressure at the open surface and the hole are equal to the atmospheric pressure. Neglect the small velocity of the water near the open surface in the tank. a. Find the initial speed of water coming out of the hole. b. Findteh speed of water coming out when half of water has leaked out. c. Find the volume of water leaked out during a time interval dt after the height remained is h. Thus find the decrease in height dh in term of h and dt. d. From the result of part c. find the time required for half of the water to leak out.

Two discharge tubes have identical material structure and the same gas is filled in them. The length of one tube is 10cm and that of th other tube is 20cm. Sparking starts in both the tubes when the potential difference between the cathode and the anode is 100 V . If the pressure in the shorter tube is 1.0 mm of mercury, what is the pressure in the longer tube?

In given figure, an adiabatic cylindrical tube of volume 2V_(0) is divided in two equal parts by a frictionless adiabatic separator. An ideal gas in left side of a tube having pressure P_(1) and temperature T_(1) where as in the right side having pressure P_(2) and temperature T_(2).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 final volumes of the two parts (b) the heat given to the gas in the left part and (c) the final common pressure of the gases,
