Solution
A cylinder containing an ideal gas is in vertical position and has a piston of mass M that is able to move up or down without friction (Figure). If the temperature is increased V will change but not p.
Explanation:
Consider the diagram where an ideal gas is contained in a cylinder, having a piston of mass M. Friction is absent.
The pressure inside the gas will be P = Pa + Mg/A
Where, Pa = Atmosphere pressure
A = area of cross-section of the piston
Mg = Weight of piston
Hence, P = constant
When temperature increases as PV = nRT
⇒ Volume (V) increases at constant pressure.

Figure shows a cylindrical tube of radius 5 cm and length 20 cm. It is closed by a tight-fitting cork. The friction coefficient between the cork and the tube is 0.20. The tube contains an ideal gas at a pressure of 1 atm and a temperature of 300 K. The tube is slowly heated and it is found that the cork pops out when the temperature reaches 600 K. Let dN denote the magnitude of the normal contact force exerted by a small length dlof the cork along the periphery (see the figure). Assuming that the temperature of the gas is uniform at any instant, calculate `(dN)/(dt)`.
