The figure shows a wheel rolling without slipping on a horizontal plane with angular velocity π1. A rigid bar PQ is pinned to the wheel at P while the end Q slides on the floor.
What is the angular velocity π2 of the bar PQ?
Consider a fully adiabatic piston-cylinder arrangement as shown in the figure. The piston is massless and cross-sectional area of the cylinder is π΄. The fluid inside the cylinder is air (considered as a perfect gas), with Ξ³ being the ratio of the specific heat at constant pressure to the specific heat at constant volume for air. The piston is initially located at a position πΏ1. The initial pressure of the air inside the cylinder is π1 β« π0, where π0 is the atmospheric pressure. The stop S1 is instantaneously removed and the piston moves to the position πΏ2, where the
equilibrium pressure of air inside the cylinder is π2 β« π0.
What is the work done by the piston on the atmosphere during this process?
