answered. Each question has 4 choices (A), (B), (C) and
(D), out of which ONLY ONE is correct.
P14 − 16 : Paragraph for Question Nos. 14 to 16
A fixed thermally conducting cylinder
has a radius R and height L0. The
cylinder is open at its bottom and has a
small hole at its top. A piston of mass M
is held at a distance L from the top
surface, as shown in the figure. The
atmospheric pressure is P0.
14. The piston is now pulled out slowly and held at a
distance 2L from the top. The pressure in the cylinder
between its top and the piston will then be :
16. The piston is taken completely out
of the cylinder. The hole at the top
is sealed. A water tank is brought
below the cylinder and put in a
piston so that the water surface in
the tank is at the same level as the
top of the cylinder as shown in the
figure. The density of the water is . In equilibrium,
the height H of the water column in the cylinder satisfies
:
