Question

How far can I move (in cm) the piston of cross-section A1, in the device shown in figure, so that 40% of the air enclosed remains. (The atmospheric pressure p0 = 10 N/cm2, density of liquid = 5 g/cm3, ℓ = 20cm, A1 = 4cm2, A2 = 1 cm2. The temperature is constant. The piston is massless and the initial height of gas in device is 110 cm.

P0V0n0=P1V1n1 
105×A1h0n0=105+5×103×10×0.2×V10.4n0    
105×4×104×h0n0=105+0.2×10×5×103V10.4n0
    V1 = 4 × 10–4 [h0 – h] + 0.2 × 1 × 10–4
    h0 = 1.1 × 105 × [4 × 10–4 (h0 – h) + 2 × 10–5]
    = 1.1 [40h0 – 40h + 2]
    16h0 = 44h0 – 44h + 2.2
    44h = 28h0 + 2.2
    44h = 28 × 1.1 + 2.2 = 33
    h = 0.75 m
