Given, initial temperature
T1=30∘C =303 KChange in radius,
Δr=0.08 mmInternal diameter of cylinder
dc=15 cm ∴ Internal radius of cylinder,
rc=7.5×10−2 mRadius of piston,
rp=(7.5−0.008)×10−2 m =7.492×10−2 mLinear expansion of cylinder
αC and piston
αp are
1.2×10−5/∘C and
1.6×10−5/∘C .
Let,
ΔrC and
Δrp is increase in radius of cylinder and piston respectively, for fully filled piston in cylinder.
By using equation of linear expansion,
r=r0(1+αΔT) ∴ΔrC=rCαCΔT , for cylinder
New radius will be
rC′=rC+ΔrC =rC+rCαCΔT=rC(1+αCΔT) =7.5×10−2[1+1.2×10−5(T−303)]Similarly, new radius of piston,
rp′=7.492×10−2[1+1.6×10−5(T−303)]Now, for fully fitted piston,
rC=rp 7.5×10−2[1+1.2×10−5(T−303)] =7.492×10−2[1+1.6×10−5(T−303)] ⇒1.0011+1.2013×10−5(T−303) =1+1.6×10−5(T−303) ⇒1.1×10−3=(T−303)×10−5(1.6−1.2013) =(T−303)×10−5×0.3987 ⇒T−303=275 ⇒T=578 K=305∘C
