Two Carnot engines A and B are operated in series. Engine A receives heat from a reservoir at 600 K and rejects heat to a reservoir at temperature T. Engine B receives heat rejected by engine A and in turn rejects it to a reservoir at 100 K. If the efficiencies of the two energies A and B are represented by $${\eta _A}$$ and $${\eta _B},$$ respectively, then what is the value of $${{{\eta _B}} \over {{\eta _A}}}$$ ?

A Carnot's engine works as a refrigerator between $$250$$ K and $$300$$ K. It receives $$500$$ cal heat from the reservoir at the lower temperature. The amount of work done in each cycle to operate the refrigerator is :

One mole of an ideal monoatomic gas is compressed isothermally in a rigid vessel to double its pressure at room temperature, $${27^ \circ }C.$$ The work done on the gas will be :

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 :
