4. This problem explores "effusion", the process by which gas in a container leaks out of a small hole. (a) Consider a wall of a container full of an ideal gas. Find an expression for vrms (the root-mean-squared speed of the gas molecules in the direction perpendicular to the wall) in terms of the gas temperature (T) and the molecular mass of the gas (m). (b) Consider a small portion (with area A) of the wall. Each molecule colliding with this portion of the wall exerts the following pressure on it: - m Δυ, ΑΔt where v, is the molecule's speed in the direction perpendicular to the wall. We assume an elastic collision, so over the course of the collision we have Avx = -2vx. An interesting quantity is N, the number of molecules colliding with this portion of the wall in (very short) time interval At. We can estimate that the gas pressure P, which is the total pressure exerted by N molecular collisions with the wall, is N times the average pressure exerted by a single molecule: 2Nm P = N…

Case 1: A container with argon gas is sealed by a movable heavy piston with cross [ sectional area, A. Initially, the piston is in equilibrium, the volume of the gas is V1, and the system is in thermal equilibrium. The piston is then slowly lifted by external force to a distance, L, at constant pressure P1. After that, the piston is not allowed to move while the pressure is reduced to P2. Case 2: A container with argon gas is sealed by a movable heavy piston with cross sectional area, A. Initially, the piston is in equilibrium, the pressure of the gas is P1, and the system is in thermal equilibrium. The piston is then not allowed to move while the pressure is reduced to P2. After that, the piston is then slowly lifted by external force to a distance, L, at constant pressure P2. Identify which case require more work by the argon? Justify your answer.

Problem 3: Consider a stationary horizontal slab of air of height dz. Since the slab is at rest, the pressure p holding it up from below must be balanced by the pressure from above PLUS the weight of the slab. a) Derive a formula for dP/dz the variation of pressure with altitude, in terms of the mass density p (greek letter rho) of the air. b) Using the ideal gas law, rewrite the air density in terms of the average mass m of the air molecules and other variables.
