$(a)$ Calculate $v_{rms}$ and hence $T$. (Given mass of one molecule $m = 3.0 \times 10^{-26} \ kg$, Boltzmann constant $k_B = 1.38 \times 10^{-23} \ J/K$)
$(b)$ If all the molecules with speed $1000 \ m/s$ escape from the system, calculate the new $v_{rms}$ and hence the new $T$.

The root mean square speed of molecules of nitrogen gas at $27^{\circ} C$ is approximately $.......m/s$. (Given: mass of a nitrogen molecule $= 4.6 \times 10^{-26} \, kg$ and Boltzmann constant $k_{B} = 1.4 \times 10^{-23} \, J K^{-1}$)
