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]

The ratio of specific heats $$\left( {{{{C_P}} \over {{C_V}}}} \right)$$ in terms of degree of freedom (f) is given by :

For a particle in uniform circular motion, the acceleration $$\overrightarrow a $$ at any point P(R, $$\theta$$) on the circular path of radius R is (when $$\theta$$ is measured from the positive x-axis and v is uniform speed) :
