A monkey climbs up a slippery pole for 3 seconds and subsequently slips for 3 seconds. Its velocity at time t is given by v(t) = 2t(3 - t); 0 < t < 3 and v(t) = -(t - 3)(6 - t) for 3 < t < 6s in m/s. It repeats this cycle till it reaches the height of 20m. At what time is its acceleration maximum in magnitude?
In a real gas the internal energy depends on temperature and also on volume. The energy increases when the gas expands isothermally. Looking into the derivation of $C_p-C_v=R$, find whether $C_p-C_v$ will be more than $R$, less than $R$ or equal to $R$ for a real gas.
