MCQ
The volume of air increases by $5\%$ in its adiabatic expansion. The percentage decrease in its pressure will be ...... $\%$
  • A
    $5$
  • B
    $6$
  • $7$
  • D
    $8$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$7$
c
(c) $P{V^\gamma } = K$or $P\gamma \,{V^{\gamma - 1}}dV + dP.\;{V^\gamma } = 0$
or $\frac{{dP}}{P} = - \gamma \frac{{dV}}{V}$ or $\frac{{dP}}{P} \times 100 = - \gamma \,\left( {\frac{{dV}}{V} \times 100} \right)$
$ = - 1.4 \times 5 = 7\% $
