Two gases A and B are filled at the same pressure in separate cylinders with movable pistons of radius r_A and r_B , respectively. On supplying an equal amount of heat to both the systems reversibly under constant pressure, the pistons of gas A and B are displaced by 16 cm and 9 cm , respectively. I

From the First Law of Thermodynamics: Q = U + W .Given Q_A = Q_B and U_A = U_B , it follows that the work done W_A = W_B .Work done at constant pressure is W = P V .Since P_A = P_B , we have V_A = V_B . V = Area × Displacement = (π r^2) × d So, π r_A^2 d_A = π r_B^2 d_B ≤ft( r_A/r_B )^2 = d_B/d_A Given d_A = 16 cm and d_B = 9 cm : ≤ft( r_A/r_B )^2 = 9/16 r_A/r_B = √(9/16) = 3/4 Wait, checking the options, the provided key indicates 3/4 is expected, but option 1 is 4/3 .

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

From the First Law of Thermodynamics:

Q = Δ U + W

.Given

Q_{A} = Q_{B}

and

Δ U_{A} = Δ U_{B}

, it follows that the work done

W_{A} = W_{B}

.Work done at constant pressure is

W = P Δ V

.Since

P_{A} = P_{B}

, we have

Δ V_{A} = Δ V_{B}

Δ V = Area \times Displacement = (π r^{2}) \times d

So,

π r_{A}^{2} d_{A} = π r_{B}^{2} d_{B}

(\frac{r _{A}}{r _{B}})^{2} = \frac{d _{B}}{d _{A}}

G i v e n

d_A = 16\,\text{cm}

an d

d_B = 9\,\text{cm}

:

(\frac{r _{A}}{r _{B}})^{2} = \frac{9}{16} ⟹ \frac{r _{A}}{r _{B}} = \frac{9}{16} = \frac{3}{4}
