A long cylindrical pipe of radius $20 \,cm$ is closed at its upper end and has an airtight piston of negligible mass as shown. When a $50 \,kg$ mass is attached to the other end of the piston, it moves down. If the air in the enclosure is cooled from temperature $T$ to $T-\Delta T$, the piston moves back to its original position. Then $\Delta T / T$ is close to (Assuming air to be an ideal gas, $g=10 \,m / s ^2$, atmospheric pressure is $10^5 \,Pa$ )

    One mole of an ideal gas expands adiabatically from an initial state $\left(T_A, V_0\right)$ to final state $\left(T_f, 5 V_0\right)$. Another mole of the same gas expands isothermally from a different initial state ( $T_{\mathrm{B}}, \mathrm{V}_0$ ) to the same final state $\left(T_{\mathrm{f}}, 5 V_0\right)$. The ratio of the specific heats at constant pressure and constant volume of this ideal gas is $\gamma$. What is the ratio $T_{\mathrm{A}} / T_{\mathrm{B}}$ ?
