A massless spring (k = 800 N/m), attached with a mass (500 g) is completely immersed in 1 kg of water. The spring is stretched by 2 cm and released so that it starts vibrating. What would be the order of magnitude of the change in the temperature of water when the vibrations stop completely ? (Assume that the water container and spring receive negligible heat and specific heat of mass = 400 J/kg K, specific heat of water = 4184 J/kg K)

The specific heats, C_P and C_V of a gas of diatomic molecules, A, are given (in units of J mol^–1 K^–1) by 29 and 22, respectively. Another gas of diatomic molecules, B, has the corresponding values 30 and 21. If they are treated as ideal gases, then :-

Two materials having coefficients of thermal conductivity '3K' and 'K' and thickness 'd' and '3d', respectively, are joined to form a slab as shown in the figure. The temperatures of the outer surfaces are '$$\theta $$₂' and '$$\theta $$₁' respectively, ($$\theta $$₂ > $$\theta $$₁). The temperature at the interface is :-

An HCl molecule has rotational, translational and vibrational motions. If the rms velocity of HCl molecules in its gaseous phase is $$\overline v $$ , m is its mass and k_B is Boltzmann constant, then its temperature will be :
