Question

A cylindrical tube of cross-sectional area A has two air tight frictionless pistons at its two ends. The pistons are tied with a straight two ends. The pistons are tied with a straight piece of metallic wire. The tube contains a gas at atmospheric pressure P0 and temperature T0. If temperature of the gas is doubled then the tension in the wire is

Solution

The correct option is C P0A
The volume of the gas is constant
i.e., v= constant.
PT
Pressure will be doubled if the temeprature is doubled.
Let F be the tension in the wire. Then the equilibrium of any one pipe gives
F=(PP0)A=(2P0P0)A
F=P0A
