KTG (Comprehension)

Paragraph

n moles of Helium gas is filled in a thermally insulated vessel at a temperature T. From a very small orifice of area A gas is coming out. Given V is volume of container and M is molecular mass of gas.

[Assume outside pressure to be zero.]

Question 1
Velocity with which gas is coming out is?

Question 2
Force exerted by escaping gas on container will be?

The 1st qsn just needs an application of Bernoulli-eqn...

PV=nRT, so P comes out to be nRTV.

Density d= nMV

Now applying Bernoulli, we have

nRTV=nMk22V, where k is the efflux vel.

Solve for k.

Force is A.nMVk2.

Correct me if wrong.

Force seems correct.
Could you solve for efflux velocity thats more important part?

I've solved for that - k=\sqrt{\frac{2RT}{M}} .

Can anyone solve this???

CORRECT ANSWER:
v=\sqrt{\frac{5RT}{M}}
