Question

A closed hollow insulated cylinder is filled with gas at 00C and also contains an insulated piston of negligible weight and negligible thickness at the the middle point. The gas at one side of the piston is heated to 1000C . If the piston moves 5cm, the length of the hollow cylinder is


  1. 13.65 cm
  2. 27.3 cm
  3. 64.6 cm
  4. 54.6 cm

A
64.6 cm
B
13.65 cm
C
27.3 cm
D
54.6 cm
Solution
Verified by Toppr

PVT is constant for gas in both sections of the cylinder.

For section with constant temperature,
P0V0=P1V1
P(AL2)=P1(A(L25))

Similarly for section whose temperature increased,
P0V0T0=P1V1T1
P0(AL2)273=P1(A(L2+5))373
L=64.6cm
