An ideal gas undergoes a polytropic given by equation $P V^n=$ constant. If molar heat capacity of gas during this process is arithmetic mean of its molar heat capacity at constant pressure and constant volume then value of $n$ is ..............
A boy is pushing a ring of mass $2 \ kg$ and radius $0.5 \ m$ with a stick as shown in the figure. The stick applies a force of $2 \ N$ on the ring and rolls it without slipping with an acceleration of $0.3 \ m / s ^2$. The coefficient of friction between the ground and the ring is large enough that rolling always occurs and the coefficient of friction between the stick and the ring is $(P / 10)$. The value of $P$ is
