An air bubble rises from the button of a lake to its upper surface.The diameters of the bubble at the bottom and the surface are 3.6mm and 4 mm respectively.Depth of the lake is 2.5m and the temperature at the upper surface is 40^@C. Find the temperature at the bottom of the lake. Ignore the change in density of water with height. (Atmospheric pressure =76 cmHg and g=980 cm.s^-2)

Answer»

Solution :PRESSURE at the BOTTOM of the lake
`p_1=76 times 13.6 times 980+250 times 1times 980`
`=(76 times 13.6+250) times 980 dyn.cm^-2`
Volume of AIR BUBBLE at the bottom
`V_1=4/3pi(0.18)^3 cm^3`
Let the temperature at the bottom of the lake =`T_1`
Now at the surface pressure
`p_2=76 times 13.6 times 980 dyn.cm^-2`.
Volume of air bubble `V_2=4/3pi (0.2)^3 cm^3`,
temperature `T_2=273+40=313K`
Now using `(p_1V_1)/T_1=(p_2V_2)/T_2`, we get
`((76times13.6+250)times980times4/3pi(0.18)^3)/T_1=(76times13.6times980times4/3pi(0.2)^3)/313`
or,`T_1=283.37K=283.37-273^@C=10.37^@C`
