Heat And Thermodynamics Ques 190

  1. While the piston is at a distance $2 L$ 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

$(2007,4$ M)

(a) $\left(\frac{2 p _0 \pi R^{2}}{\pi R^{2} p _0+M g}\right)(2 L)$

(b) $\left(\frac{p _0 \pi R^{2}-M g}{\pi R^{2} p _0}\right)$ $(2 L)$

(c) $\left(\frac{p _0 \pi R^{2}+M g}{\pi R^{2} p _0}\right)(2 L)$

(d) $\left(\frac{p _0 \pi R^{2}}{\pi R^{2} p _0-M g}\right)(2 L)$

Answer:

Correct Answer: 190.(d)

Solution:

  1. Let $p$ be the pressure in equilibrium.

Then, $\quad p A=p _0 A-M g$

$$ p=p _0-\frac{M g}{A}=p _0-\frac{M g}{\pi R^{2}} $$

Applying, $\quad p _1 V _1=p _2 V _2$

$$ \therefore \quad p _0(2 A L)=(p)\left(A L^{\prime}\right) $$

$\therefore L^{\prime}=\frac{2 p _0 L}{p}=\left(\frac{p _0}{p _0-\frac{M g}{\pi R^{2}}}\right)(2 L)$

$$ =\left(\frac{p _0 \pi R^{2}}{\pi R^{2} p _0-M g}\right)(2 L) $$

$\therefore$ Correct option is $(d)$.
