The mass of a hydrogen molecule is 3.32 x10-27 kg. If 1023hydrogen molecules strike per second, a fixed wall of area 2 cm2 at an angle of 45° to the normal and rebound elastically with a speed of 103 m/s, then the pressure on the wall is nearly


A) 2.35×103N/m2

B) 4.70×103N/m2

C) 4.70×102N/m2

D) 2.35×102N/m2

Answer:

Option A

Momentum imparted due to first collision

2mvsin45 =2mv      [sin450=12]

    Pressure on surface

 = n2mvArea=1023×2×3.32×1027×103(2×102)2

p=2.35×103N/m2
