Question: Answered & Verified by Expert
A cylindrical vessel of uniform cross-section consisting of a gas of $\gamma=1.5$ is divided into two parts $A$ and $B$ using a piston. Initially the piston is kept fixed such that part $A$ has pressure $p$ and volume $5 \mathrm{~V}$ and the part $B$ has pressure $8 p$ and volume $V$. If the piston is let free and the gas is allowed to undergo adiabatic process, then the final volume of the gas in part $A$ is

Options:
  • A $3 V$
  • B $\frac{8}{3} v$
  • C $\frac{10}{3} v$
  • D $\frac{13}{3} V$

The correct answer is: $\frac{10}{3} v$


For adiabatic expression in part A and B, we have,

Solving for $V_A$ with $r=1 \cdot 5$, we get
$$
V_A=\frac{10}{3} \mathrm{~V}
$$
