A cyclic process $ABCD$ is shown in the figure $P-V$ diagram. Which of the following curves represent the same process
A uniformly thick wheel with moment of inertia $I$ and radius $R$ is free to rotate about its centre of mass (see fig). A massless string is wrapped over its rim and two blocks of masses $\mathrm{m}_{1}$ and $\mathrm{m}_{2}\left(\mathrm{m}_{1}>\mathrm{m}_{2}\right)$ are attached to the ends of the string. The system is released from rest. The angular speed of the wheel when $\mathrm{m}_{1}$ descents by a distance $h$ is
Diatomic molecules like hydrogen have energies due to both translational as well as rotational motion. From the equation in kinetic theory $\text{PV} = \frac{2}{3}$ E,E is:
  1. The total energy per unit volume.
  2. Only the translational part of energy because rotational energy is very small compared to the translational energy.
  3. Only the translational part of the energy because during collisions with the wall pressure relates to change in linear momentum.
  4. The translational part of the energy because rotational energies of molecules can be of either sign and its average over all the molecules is zero.

An ideal gas is trapped inside a test tube of cross-sectional area $20 \times 10^{-6} \,\,m^2$ as shown in the figure. The gas occupies a height $L_1$ at the bottom of the tube and is separated from air at atmospheric pressure by a mercury column of mass $0.002\,\, kg$. If the tube is quickly turned isothermally, upside down so that $L_2$ mercury column encloses the gas from below. The gas now occupies height $L_1$ in the tube. The ratio $L_1$ is [Take atmospheric pressure $= 10^5 Nm^{-2}]$

 Consider a water jar of radius $R$ that has water filled up to height $H$ and is kept on a stand of height $h$ (see figure) . Through a hole of radius $r$  $(r << R)$ at its bottom, the water leaks out and the stream of water coming down towards the ground has a shape like a funnel as shown in the figure. If the radius of the cross-section of water stream when it hits the ground is $x.$ Then
