Question

The fundamental thermodynamic relation for a rubber band is given by 𝒅𝑼 = 𝑻𝒅𝑺 + 𝝉𝒅𝑳, where 𝑻 is the absolute temperature, 𝑺 is the entropy, 𝝉 is the tension in the rubber band, and 𝑳 is the length of the rubber band. Which one of the following relations is CORRECT:

Options :

  1. ( T S ) L = ( τ L ) S

  2. τ = ( U S ) L

  3. T = ( U S ) τ

  4. ( T L ) S = ( τ S ) L

Show Answer

Answer :

( T L ) S = ( τ S ) L

Solution :

If there is a relation between x, y & z, then z may be expressed as a function of x & y.

If an equation of type dZ = Mdx + Ndy is an exact differential, then it can be written as  ( M y ) x = ( N x ) y

Now,

Comparing this thermodynamic relation dU = TdS + τdL with  ( M y ) x = ( N x ) y we get,

Z = U, M = T, X = S, N = τ, y = L

The thermodynamic relation can be written as,  ( T L ) S = ( τ S ) L
