The wettability of a surface by a liquid depends primarily on

The molar specific heats of an ideal gas at constant pressure and volume are denoted by C_p and C_v, respectively. If  $$\gamma $$ = $${{{C_p}} \over {{C_v}}}$$ and R is the universal gas constant, then C_v is equal to

The following four wires are made of the same material. Which of these will have the largest extension when the same tension is applied?

A slab of stone of area 0.36 m² and thickness 0.1 m is exposed on the lower surface to steam at 100^oC. A block of ice at 0^oC rests on the upper surface of the slab. In one hour 4.8 kg of ice is melted. The thermal conductivity of slab is
(Given latent heat of fusion of ice = 3.36 $$ \times $$ 10⁵ J kg^$$-$$1)
