A steel rail of length 5 m and area of cross section 40cm² is prevented from expanding along its length while the temperature rises by 10^oC. If coefficient of linear expansion and Young’s modulus of steel are 1.2×10⁻⁵ K⁻¹ and 2×10¹¹ Nm⁻² respectively, the force developed in the rail is approximately :

N moles of a diatomic gas in a cylinder are at a temperature T. Heat is supplied to the cylinder such that the temperature remains constant but n moles of the diatomic gas get converted into monoatomic gas. What is the change in the total kinetic energy of the gas ?

For the P-V diagram given for an ideal gas,



out of the following which one correctly represents the T-P diagram ?

An engine operates by taking n moles of an ideal gas through the cycle ABCDA shown in figure. The thermal efficiency of the engine is : (Take C_v = 1.5 R, where R is gas constant)
