This device consists of two large reservoirs each having a cross sectional area A, which are filled with a liquid having a specific weight Y1 and connected by a U-tube of cross-sectional area A, containing a liquid of specific weight y2. When a differential gas pressure, P, - P2 , is applied, a differential reading, h, develops. It is desired to have this reading sufficiently large (so that it can be easily read) for small pressure At differentials. Determine the relationship between h and P1 P, when the area ratio is small, and show Ar that the differential reading, h, can be magnified by making the difference in specific weights, Y2 - Y1 , small.

- Using a numerical integration method such as Simpson’s rule, find the fraction of molecules in a sample of oxygen gas at a temperature of 250 K that have speeds between 100 m/s and 150 m/s. The molar mass of oxygen (O2) is 32.0 g/mol. A precision to two significant digits is enough.arrow_forwardA frictionless piston of mass m = 3.0 kg is a precise fit in the narrow vertical cylindrical neck of a large container of volume V = 1000 litres and can move frictionless. The container is filled with an ideal gas and there is a vacuum above the piston. The cross-sectional area of the neck is A = 1.00 x 10-4 m2. a) Assuming that the pressure and volume of the gas change slowly and isothermally, determine the differential equation of motion for small displacements of the piston about its equilibrium position and hence calculate the angular frequency of oscillation. [Hint: find an equilibrium pressure and consider how small displacement of the piston from the equilibrium position changes the volume and pressure in the vessel]. b) Without calculation, consider whether the frequency will increase or decrease if the pressure and volume of the gas were to change adiabatically. Explain your reasoning.arrow_forwarda student experiment, a constant-volume gas thermometer is calibrated in dry ice (-78.5 degrees C) and in boiling ethyl alcohol (78 degrees C).
