Question
A box of length 1 meter and cross-sectional
area A has a moveable partition inside it.
There is some gas on either side of the
partition.
The number of particles on the left is Ni =
3x102%. The number of particles on the right
is Na = 2x10. The gas on both sides is in
thermal equilibrium at the same temperature
T. When the partition settles down to its final
position, find the lengths Li and La of the left
and right sides of the box.

Step 1

    Solution:-         No.of particles on left            N1=3×1023        No.of particles on right            N2=2×1023Physics homework question answer, step 1, image 1

         At equilibrium condition the box inside is
