A molecule of gas in a container hits one wall 1 normally and rebounds back. It suffers no collision and hits the opposite wall 2 which is at an angle of 30° with wall 1. Assuming the collisions to be elastic and the small collision time to be the same for both the walls, the magnitude of average force by wall 2F2 provided to the molecule during collision satisfy: (magnitude of average force by wall 1 is F1)

An ideal gas filled in a cylinder occupies volume V. The gas is compressed isothermally to the volume V3. Now the cylinder valve is opened and the gas is allowed to leak keeping temperature same. What percentage of the number of molecules escape to bring the pressure in the cylinder back to its original value.
