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)

An ideal gas has molecules with 5 degrees of freedom. The ratio of specific heats at constant pressure (C_p ) and at constant volume (C_v) is :

A copper ball of mass 100 gm is at a temperature T. It is dropped in a copper calorimeter of mass 100 gm, filled with 170 gm of water at room temperature. Subsequently, the temperature of the system is found to be 75^oC. T is given by: (Given : room temperature = 30^oC, specific heat of copper = 0.1 cal/gm^oC)

An external pressure P is applied on a cube at 0^oC so that it is equally compressed from all sides. K is the bulk modulus of the material of the cube and $$\alpha$$ is its coefficient of linear expansion. Suppose we want to bring the cube to its original size by heating. The temperature should be raised by:
