A horizontal cylinder closed at one end contains an ideal gas which is compressed by a tight-fitting and frictionless piston. The piston is connected to the other closed end of the cylinder via a spring with spring constant k . The piston is of cross-sectional area A and mass M . In equilibrium, the chamber containing the gas has pressure P and length L while the spring is compressed by l . Let the the piston be disp
Options
- AThe oscillations of the piston are periodic but not simple harmonic.
- Bl=P A / k
- CThe net work done in one complete oscillation is 2 k d .
- DBoth large k and large P imply small time period.
Correct answer
D. Both large k and large P imply small time period.
