Question
One mole of an ideal gas undergoes a process `P = (P_0)/(1+(V/V_0)^2` where `p_0` and `V_0` are constants . Find the temperature of the gas when `V=V_0` .

Solution
Given :
`P = (p_0)/(1+(V/V_0)^2`
Multiplying both sides by V, we get
`pV = (p_0V)/(1+(V/V_0)^2)`
`pV = RT` [From eq. (1)]
Now ,
`RT = (p_0V)/(1+(V/V_0)^2)`
`T = 1/R ((p_0V_0)/(1+(V_0/V_0)^2))` [`V=V_0`]
⇒ `T = (p_0V_0)/(2R)`

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.

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)`.
