Question
What is an indicator diagram?
✓
Answer
An indicator diagram is a graphical representation of the state of a system with the help of two thermodynamic variables (generally pressure and volume). Work done by a system is numerically equal to area under the P-V indicator diagram.

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.

Explain this statement clearly: “To call a dimensional quantity ‘large’ or ‘small’ is meaningless without specifying a standard for comparison”. In view of this, reframe the following statements wherever necessary:
- Atoms are very small objects
- A jet plane moves with great speed
- The mass of Jupiter is very large
- The air inside this room contains a large number of molecules
- A proton is much more massive than an electron
- The speed of sound is much smaller than the speed of light.
If $f=x^2$, relative error in $f$, then how many times the relative error would be in $x$ ?
→What will be the speed of sound in a perfectly rigid rod?

A cylinder of mass $10\ kg$ and radius $15\ cm$ is rolling perfectly on a plane of inclination $30^\circ$ . The coefficient of static friction $\mu_\text{s}= 0.25$
→- How much is the force of friction acting on the cylinder?
- What is the work done against friction during rolling?
- If the inclination $\theta$ of the plane is increased, at what value of $\theta$ does the cylinder begin to skid, and not roll perfectly?
