The efficiency of a Carnot's engine, working between steam point and ice point, will be :

A thermally insulated vessel contains an ideal gas of molecular mass M and ratio of specific heats 1.4. Vessel is moving with speed v and is suddenly brought to rest. Assuming no heat is lost to the surrounding and vessel temperature of the gas increases by :

(R = universal gas constant)

A solid metallic cube having total surface area 24 m² is uniformly heated. If its temperature is increased by 10$$^\circ$$C, calculate the increase in volume of the cube. (Given $$\alpha$$ = 5.0 $$\times$$ 10^$$-$$4 $$^\circ$$C^$$-$$1).

A copper block of mass 5.0 kg is heated to a temperature of 500$$^\circ$$C and is placed on a large ice block. What is the maximum amount of ice that can melt? [Specific heat of copper : 0.39 J g^$$-$$1 $$^\circ$$C^$$-$$1 and latent heat of fusion of water : 335 J g^$$-$$1]
