When the valve is closed the number of moles of the gas in container A is nA =
pAVA/RTA and that in container B is nB = 4pBVA/RTB. The total number of moles in both containers is then
VA p A 4 p B
n nA nB const.
R TA TB
After the valve is opened, the pressure in container A is pA = RnATA/VA and that in container B is pB =
RnBTB/4VA. Equating pA and pB, we obtain RnATA/VA = RnBTB/4VA, or nB = (4TA/TB)nA. Thus,
4T V p 4 pB

Substituting this expression for nA into pVA = nARTA, we obtain the final pressure:

state of the gas, and let pf, Vf, and Tf be the pressure, volume, and temperature of the final state. Since

As the wheel is raised over the obstacle, the only forces acting are the force F applied horizontally at the
axle, the force of gravity mg acting vertically at the center of the wheel, and the force of the step corner,
shown as the two components fh and fv.
If the minimum force is applied the wheel does not accelerate, so both the total force and the total
torque acting on it are zero.
We calculate the torque around the step corner. The second diagram (above right) indicates that the
distance from the line of F to the corner is r – h, where r is the radius of the wheel and h is the height of
the step. The distance from the line of mg to the corner is b g

8. Problem 20.34. (a) Using Eq. 19-54 for process D A gives
p0
8V0 = p0V0
pDVD = pAVA

which leads to 8 = 32 5 / 3 . The result (see Sections 19-9 and 19-11) implies the gas is
monatomic.
(b) The input heat is that absorbed during process A B:
5 T 5 5
QH = nC p T = n R TA B 1 = nRTA 2 1 = p0V0
2 TA 2 2
and the exhaust heat is that liberated during process C D:
5 T 5 1 5
QL = nC p T = n R TD 1 L = nRTD 1 2 = p0V0
2 TD 2 4 2
where in the last step we have used the fact that TD 14 TA (from the gas law in ratio form).
Therefore, Eq. 20-12 leads to
