Following figure shows on adiabatic cylindrical container of volume ${V_0}$ divided by an adiabatic smooth piston (area of cross-section = $A$ ) in two equal parts. An ideal gas $({C_P}/{C_V} = \gamma )$ is at pressure $P_1$ and temperature $T_1$ in left part and gas at pressure $P_2$ and temperature $T_2$ in right part. The piston is slowly displaced and released at a position where it can stay in equilibrium. The final pressure of the two parts will be (Suppose $ x$ = displacement of the piston)
  • A${P_2}$
  • B${P_1}$
  • C$\frac{{{P_1}{{\left( {\frac{{{V_0}}}{2}} \right)}^\gamma }}}{{{{\left( {\frac{{{V_0}}}{2} + Ax} \right)}^\gamma }}}$
  • D$\frac{{{P_2}{{\left( {\frac{{{V_0}}}{2}} \right)}^\gamma }}}{{{{\left( {\frac{{{V_0}}}{2} + Ax} \right)}^\gamma }}}$

    A long cylindrical pipe of radius $20 \,cm$ is closed at its upper end and has an airtight piston of negligible mass as shown. When a $50 \,kg$ mass is attached to the other end of the piston, it moves down. If the air in the enclosure is cooled from temperature $T$ to $T-\Delta T$, the piston moves back to its original position. Then $\Delta T / T$ is close to (Assuming air to be an ideal gas, $g=10 \,m / s ^2$, atmospheric pressure is $10^5 \,Pa$ )
