Question

A cylindrical tube of cross sectional area A has two air tight frictionless pistons at its two ends. The piston 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 the temperature of the gas is doubled then the tension in the wire is

Solution

The correct option is C P0A
PV = nRT
In this case V is constant.
So doubling T also doubles P.
Tension = Pressure x Area
net pressure=gas pressure-atmospheric pressure
Pnet=2PP=P
Therefore, new Tension = PA
