A horizontal tube of length l closed at both ends, contains an ideal gas of molecular weight M. The tube is rotated at a constant angular velocity ω about a vertical axis passing through an end. Assuming the temperature to be uniform and constant. If p1 and p2 denote the pressure at free and the fixed end respectively, then choose the correct relation
A.
Consider the diagram
Consider the elementary part of thickness dx at a distance x from the axis of rotation, then force on this part
Adp = (dm)ω2 x ......(i)
where, dm = mass of element
ω = angular velocity
Now, from ideal gas equation
pV = nRT
R - Avagadro constant
V = Volume
n = Number of moles of gas
pA dx =
⇒ dm = ......(ii)
From Eqs. (i) and (ii)
Adp =
0(minimum) to l (maximum) is the limit

A lead ball at 30°C is dropped from a height of 6.2 km. The ball is heated due to the air resistance and it completely melts just before reaching the ground. The molten substance falls slowly on the ground. If the specific heat of lead = 126 Jkg-1 oC-1 and melting point of lead= 130°C and suppose that any mechanical energy lost is used to heat the ball, then the latent heat of fusion of lead is
2.4 × 104 J Kg-1
3.6 × 104 J Kg-1
7.6 × 102 J kg-1
4.94 × 103 J kg-1
A particle is subjected to two simple harmonic motions along X-axis while other is along a line making angle 45° with the X-axis. The two motions are given by x = x0 sin ωt and s =s0 sin ωt. The amplitude of resultant motion is
x0 + s0 + 2x0s0
