Hey guys,

Once my teacher was taking class on thermodynamics.. and we came to know about kelvin's experiment.

he said that if the body is cooled upto -273.15 deg. C or 0 kelvin, the pressure exerted by the body will be 0.

I have a doubt.

If p=o,

force/area = 0, mass * g / a = o.

a cannot be infinity.... so there are two cases..

 

either of mass or acceleration due to gravity is 0

 

case i.) g=0

that means temp. has efect on gravity... i.e. if temp. =0 , g=0.

as far as iknow gravity and temp. are independent.

 

case ii.)

m=0

if mass = o, enormous energy will be liberated. And if mass = 0, that means the body no more exists. so how can superconductors exist in 0 deg. kelvin???

and even all tha bodies irrespective of shape and mass should loose all their mass at 0 deg. kelvin which is again practically nt possible...

 

so please hepl me out..

just tell me how the pressure exerted by the body becomes zero.

The problem is that the force is not given by mg.

 

At 0 K the atomic motion would stop. No motion => No collisions => no pressure exerted.

thanks buddy ))
