    Figure shows a cylindrical adiabatic container of total volume $2V_0$ divided into two equal parts by a conducting piston (which is free to move). Each part containing identical gas at pressure $P_0$ . Initially temperature of left and right part is $4T_0$ and $T_0$ respectively. An external force is applied on the piston to keep the piston at rest. Find the value of external force required when thermal equilibrium is reached. ( $A =$ Area of piston)

    Choose the incorrect statement from the following

    $S1:$ The efficiency of a heat engine can be $1,$ but the coefficient of performance of a refrigerator can never be infinity.

    $S2:$ The first law of  thermodynamics is basically the principle of conservation of energy.

    $S3:$ The  second law of thermodynamics does not allow several phenomena consistent  with the first law.
