SECTION B Answer one question only. 7 A cylindrical cork, with density , length and radius , protrudes a distance from the neck of a bottle containing a gas at pressure above atmospheric pressure, as shown below. The portion of the cork in the bottle is compressed, and pushes radially outwards on the bottle neck with a constant pressure . Show that the cork will slide outwards if where is the coefficient of friction between the cork and the glass. Assume takes the same value whether or not the cork is slipping. The cork starts flush with the bottle , but the pressure in the bottle is just enough for the cork to start slipping forwards. Assuming the pressure in the bottle is constant, and the cork starts with a small outward velocity at , find the equation of motion for the cork and, by substitution or otherwise, show the motion of the cork is and give expressions for and in terms of and . Show that, if is negligibly small, the cork exits the bottle with velocity If the density of cork is , and a typical champagne bottle is pressurized to above atmospheric pressure, find (neglecting air resistance) to what height it is possible to fire a cork. An actual champagne cork does indeed start with a length within the bottle, but also has a stopper on the end that doubles the mass of the cork. How will this modification change the maximum achievable height?
