KVPY2017PhysicsKinetic Theory of Gases
A long cylindrical pipe of radius 20 ~cm is closed at its upper end and has an airtight piston of negligible mass as shown. When a 50 Kg mass is attached to the other end of the pistion, it moves down by a distance / before coming to equilibrium. Assuming air to be an ideal gas, / L (see figure) is close to ( g =10 ~ms ² . , atmospheric pressure is 10⁵ Pascal),
