If one mole of an ideal gas at (P₁, V₁) is allowed to expand reversibly and isothermally (A to B) its pressure is reduced to one-half of the original pressure (see figure). This is followed by a constant volume cooling till its pressure is reduced to one-fourth of the initial value (B $$ \to $$ C). Then it is restored to its initial state by a reversible adiabatic compression (C to A). The net workdone by the gas is equal to :

A body weights 49N on a spring balance at the north pole. What will be its weight recorded on the same weighing machine, if it is shifted to the equator?

[Use $$g = {{GM} \over {{R^2}}}$$ = 9.8 ms^$$-$$2 and radius of earth, R = 6400 km.]

When a particle executes SHM, the nature of graphical representation of velocity as a function of displacement is :

The period of oscillation of a simple pendulum is $$T = 2\pi \sqrt {{L \over g}} $$. Measured value of 'L' is 1.0 m from meter scale having a minimum division of 1 mm and time of one complete oscillation is 1.95 s measured from stopwatch of 0.01 s resolution. The percentage error in the determination of 'g' will be :
