An adiabatic vessel of total volume V is divided into two equal parts by a conducting separator. The separator is fixed in this position. The part on the left contains one mole of an ideal gas (U = 1.5nRT) and the part on the right contains two moles of the same gas. Initially, the pressure on each side is p. The system is left for sufficient time so that a steady state is reached. Find,
  1. The work done by the gas in the left part during the process.
  2. The temperature on the two sides in the beginning.
  3. The final common temperature reached by the gases.
  4. The heat given to the gas in the right part.
  5. The increase in the internal energy of the gas in the left part.
A track consists of two circular parts ABC and CDE of equal radius 100m and joined smoothly as shown in figure. Each part subtends a right angle at its centre. A cycle weighing 100 kg together with the rider travels at a constant speed of 18km/h on the track.
  1. Find the normal contact force by the road on the cycle when it is at B and at D.

Figure. shows an arrangement to measure the emf $\in$ and internal resistance r of a battery. The voltmeter has a very high resistance and the ammeter also has some resistance. The voltmeter reads 1.52V when the switch S is open. When the switch is closed, the voltmeter reading drops to 1.45V and the ammeter reads 1.0A. Find the emf and the internal resistance of the battery.
