MCQ
An ideal gas is made to undergo a cycle depicted by the $p-V$ diagram given below. The curved line from $A$ to $B$ is an adiabat.Then,
  • the efficiency of this cycle is given by unity as on heat is released during the cycle
  • B
    heat is absorbed in the upper part of the straight line path and released in the lower part
  • C
    if $T_1$ and $T_2$ are the maximum and minimum temperatures reached during the cycle, then the efficiency is given by $1-\frac{T_2}{T_1}$
  • D
    the cycle can only be carried out in the reverse of the direction shown in above figure

Answer

Correct option: A.
the efficiency of this cycle is given by unity as on heat is released during the cycle
a
(a)

$A$ to $B$ is an expansion process and $B$ to $A$ is adiabatic compression.

So, heat is absorbed in process $A$ to $B$ and is released in process $B$ to $A$.

A slide with a frictionless curved surface, which becomes horizontal at its lower end,, is fixed on the terrace of a building of height $3 h$ from the ground, as shown in the figure. A spherical ball of mass $\mathrm{m}$ is released on the slide from rest at a height $h$ from the top of the terrace. The ball leaves the slide with a velocity $\vec{u}_0=u_0 \hat{x}$ and falls on the ground at a distance $d$ from the building making an angle $\theta$ with the horizontal. It bounces off with a velocity $\overrightarrow{\mathrm{v}}$ and reaches a maximum height $h_l$.
