Two massless, frictionless pistons are inside a horizontal tube opened at both ends. A 10-cm-long thread connects the pistons. The cross-sectional area of the tube is 20 cm2. The pressure and temperature of gas between the pistons and the outside air are the same and are equal to P = 1.0 X 105 N/m2 and T = 24 °C. At what temperature will the thread break if it breaks when the tension reaches 30 N?
