$A$ very tall vertical cylinder is filled with a gas of molar mass $M$ under isothermal conditions at temperature $T$. The density and pressure of the gas at the base of the container are $\rho_0$ and $p_0$,respectively. Choose the correct statement$(s)$ if gravity is assumed to be constant throughout the container.

  • A
    Both pressure and density decrease exponentially with height.
  • B
    The variation of pressure is $p = p_0 e^{-\frac{Mgh}{RT}}$.
  • C
    The variation of density is $\rho = \rho_0 e^{-\frac{Mgh}{RT}}$.
  • D
    All of the above.

$A$ thermally isolated cylindrical closed vessel of height $8 \ m$ is kept vertically. It is divided into two equal parts by a diathermic (perfect thermal conductor) frictionless partition of mass $8.3 \ kg$. Thus,the partition is held initially at a distance of $4 \ m$ from the top. Each of the two parts of the vessel contains $0.1 \ mol$ of an ideal gas at temperature $300 \ K$. The partition is now released and moves without any gas leaking from one part of the vessel to the other. When equilibrium is reached,the distance of the partition from the top (in $m$) will be. . . . . .
