A cylindrical tube, open at both ends, has a fundamental frequency, $$f,$$ in air. The tube is dipped vertically in water so that half of it is in water. The fundamental frequency of the air-column is now :

A wooden wheel of radius $$R$$ is made of two semicircular part (see figure). The two parts are held together by a ring made of a metal strip of cross sectional area $$S$$ and length $$L.$$ $$L$$ is slightly less than $$2\pi R.$$ To fit the ring on the wheel, it is heated so that its temperature rises by $$\Delta T$$ and it just steps over the wheel. As it cools down to surrounding temperature, it process the semicircular parts together. If the coefficient of linear expansion of the metal is $$\alpha $$, and its Young's modulus is $$Y,$$ the force that one part of the wheel applies on the other part is :

Helium gas goes through a cycle $$ABCD$$ (consisting of two isochoric and isobaric lines) as shown in figure efficiency of this cycle is nearly : (Assume the gas to be close to ideal gas)

A thin liquid film formed between a U-shaped wire and a light slider supports a weight of $$1.5 \times {10^{ - 2}}\,\,N$$ (see figure). The length of the slider is $$30$$ $$cm$$ and its weight negligible. The surface tension of the liquid film is
