MCQ
Mark the correct options:
  • A
    A system $X$ is in thermal equilibrium with $Y$ but not with $Z.$ System $Y$ and $Z$ may be in thermal equilibrium with each other.
  • B
    A system $X$ is in thermal equilibrium with $Y$ but not with $Z$. Systems $Y$ and $Z$ are not in thermal equilibrium with each other.
  • C
    A system $X$ is neither in thermal equilibrium with $Y$ nor with $Z$. The system $Y$ and $Z$ may be in thermal equilibrium with each other.
  • Both $B$ and $C$

Answer

Correct option: D.
Both $B$ and $C$
Key concept: Two bodies are said to be in thermal equilibrium with each other, when no heat flows from one body to the other. That is when both the bodies are at the same temperature.
According to the problem,
$b.$ If two systems $X$ and $Y$ are in thermal equilibrium, i.e., $\mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{X}}=\mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{y}}$ and $x$ is not in thermal equilibrium with $z$ , i.e., $T_X \neq T_z$ then clearly, $T_y \neq T_Z$ Hence, $y$ and $z$ are not in thermal equilibrium.
$c.$ If $X$ ais not in thermal equilibrium with $Y$, i.e., $T_X \neq T_y$ and also $X$ is not thermal equilibrium with $Y$, i.e., $T_X$ $\neq T_Z$. Then we cannot say about equilibrium of $Y$ and $Z$, they may or may not be in equilibrium.

For a free body diagram shown in the figure, the four forces are applied in the ' $x$ ' and ' $y$ ' directions. What additional force must be applied and at what angle with positive $x$-axis so that the net acceleration of body is zero?
The 'Kangri' is an earthen pot used to stay warm in Kashmir during the winter months. Assume that the 'Kangri' is spherical and of surface area $7 \times 10^{-2} \,m ^{2}$. It contains $300 g$ of a mixture of coal, wood and leaves with calorific value of $30 \,kJ / g$ (and provides heat with $10 \%$ efficiency). The surface temperature of the 'Kangri' is $60^{\circ} C$ and the room temperature is $0^{\circ} C$. Then, a reasonable estimate for the duration $t$ (in h) that the 'Kangri' heat will last is (take the 'Kangri' to be a black body)
