A cylindrical tube of uniform cross-sectional area is fitted with two air tight frictionless pistons. The pistons are connected to each other by a metallic wire. Initially, the pressure of the gas is and temperature is , atmospheric pressure is also . Now, the temperature of the gas is increased to , the tension of wire will be

Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
B.
Step-by-step solution
Volume of the gas is constant i.e. = constant
i.e. pressure will be doubled if temperature is doubled.
Let be the tension in the wire. Then, equilibrium of any one pipes gives.
