MCQ
Two masses $M$ and $m$ are connected by a weightless string. They are pulled by a force $F$ on a frictionless horizontal surface., the acceleration of mass $m$ is
  • A
    $\frac{F}{m}$
  • $\frac{{F - T}}{m}$
  • C
    $\frac{{F + T}}{m}$
  • D
    $\frac{F}{M}$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$\frac{{F - T}}{m}$
b
(b) Net force on mass $m$, $ma = F - T$$\therefore $ $a = \frac{{F - T}}{m}$

Consider one mole of helium gas enclosed in a container at initial pressure $P_1$ and volume $V_1$. It expands isothermally to volume $4 V_1$. After this, the gas expands adiabatically and its volume becomes $32 V_1$. The work done by the gas during isothermal and adiabatic expansion processes are $W_{\text {iso }}$ and $W_{\text {adia, }}$ respectively.
