A cylindrical tube \(AB\) of length \(l\), closed at both ends contains an ideal gas of \(1\) mol having molecular weight \(M\). The tube is rotated in a horizontal plane with constant angular velocity \(\omega\) about an axis perpendicular to \(AB\) and passing through the edge at end \(A\), as shown in the figure. If \(P_A\) and \(P_B\) are the pressures at \(A\) and \(B\) respectively, then (Consider the temperature is same at all points in the tube)
1. \(P_B=P_A \exp \left(\dfrac{M \omega^2 l^2}{ 2 R T}\right)~\)
2. \(P_B=P_A~\)
3. \(P_B=P_A \exp \left(\dfrac{M \omega^2 l^2 }{3 R T}\right) ~\)
