200 g water is heated from 40^oC to 60^oC. Ignoring the slight expansion of water, the change in its internal energy is close to (Given specific heat of water = 4184 J/kg/K) :

A pendulum clock loses $$12$$ $$s$$ a day if the temperature is $${40^ \circ }C$$ and gains $$4$$ $$s$$ a day if the temperature is $${20^ \circ }C.$$ The temperature at which the clock will show correct time, and the co-efficient of linear expansion $$\left( \alpha \right)$$ of the metal of the pendulum shaft are respectively :

An ideal gas undergoes a quasi static, reversible process in which its molar heat capacity $$C$$ remains constant. If during this process the relation of pressure $$P$$ and volume $$V$$ is given by $$P{V^n} = $$ constant, then $$n$$ is given by (Here $${C_p}$$ and $${C_v}$$ are molar specific heat at constant pressure and constant volume, respectively:

$$'n'$$ moles of an ideal gas undergoes a process $$A$$ $$ \to $$ $$B$$ as shown in the figure. The maximum temperature of the gas during the process will be :
