AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on solving for T2 using the Ideal Gas Law. The initial calculations incorrectly used Celsius instead of Kelvin for temperature. The correct approach requires converting the temperature from Celsius to Kelvin before applying the formula. After conversion, the correct answer is determined to be 323 K. Understanding the importance of temperature units is crucial in gas law calculations.

For this question
http://tinyurl.com/3bmkhg

Followed is my working

P1/T1=P2/T2
T2=(T1/P1)*P2
=(T1)*(P2/P1)
=25 * 2
=50

But the answer is D. 323,
may I know what is my problem?

Yes, for the ideal gas law you should measure temperature in degrees kelvin. Convert C to K, solve the problem and convert K to C.
 
I see, thanks for help!

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
