TS EAMCET · Physics · Kinetic Theory of Gases

In the figure, the chamber A contains a gas, movable chamber B is placed on the top of the gas and it contains \(\mathrm{n}\) metal balls. The weight of chamber B is supported by the gas. Chamber \(\mathrm{C}\) has vacuum. Let the gas be in equilibrium at pressure \(\mathrm{P}\). Let \(\mathrm{P}^{\prime}\) be the pressure if one of the balls is taken away. Find \(\left(\mathrm{P}-\mathrm{P}^{\prime}\right) / \mathrm{P}\).

  1. A 1
  2. B \(n\)
  3. C \(2 \mathrm{n}\)
  4. D \(1 / \mathrm{n}\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(1 / \mathrm{n}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(P = \frac{n W_M}{A}\) \(P - P' = \frac{n W_M}{A} - \frac{(n-1) W_M}{A} = \frac{W_M}{A}\) \(\frac{P - P'}{P} = \frac{W_M / A}{n W_M / A} = \frac{1}{n}\)
