Three moles of an ideal gas of 300K are isothermally expanded to five times its volume and heated at this constant volume so that the pressure is raised to its initial value before expansion. In the whole process 83.14 kJ heat is required. Calculate the ratio $\frac{\text{C}_\text{P}}{\text{C}_\text{V}}$ of gas $(\log_\text{e}5=1.61).$
Prove the result that the velocity v of translation of a rolling body (like a ring, disc, cylinder or sphere) at the bottom of an inclined plane of a height h is given by $\text{v}^2=\frac{2\text{gh}}{\Big(\frac{1+\text{k}^2}{\text{R}^2}\Big)}$ using dynamical consideration (i.e. by consideration of forces and torques).
Note: k is the radius of gyration of the body about its symmetry axis, and R is the radius of the body. The body starts from rest at the top of the plane.
Two particles, each with mass m are placed at a separation d in a uniform magnetic field B, as shown in the figure. They have opposite charges of equal magnitude q. At time t = 0, the particles are projected towards each other, each with a speed v. Suppose the Coulomb force between the charges is switched off.
  1. Find the maximum value vm of the projection speed, so that the two particles do not collide.
  2. What would be the minimum and maximum separation between the particles if $\text{v}=\text{v}_{\text{m}}\sqrt{2}?$
  3. At what instant will a collision occur between the particles if v = 2vm?
  4. Suppose v = 2vm and the collision between the particles is completely inelastic. Describe the motion after the collision.

The bob of a simple pendulum has a mass of 40g and a positive charge of 4.0 × 10-6C. It makes 20 oscillations in 45s. A vertical electric field pointing upward and of magnitude 2.5 × 104NC-1 is switched on. How much time will it now take to complete 20 oscillations?
Sometimes we show an idealised magnetic field which is uniform in a given region and falls to zero abruptly. One such field is represented in figure. Using Ampere's law over the path PQRS, show that such a field is not possible.

A pipe 20cm long is closed at one end. Which harmonic mode of the pipe is resonantly excited by a 430Hz source? Will the same source be in resonance with the pipe if both ends are open? (speed of sound in air is 340m s–1).

A ‘thermacole’ icebox is a cheap and an efficient method for storing small quantities of cooked food in summer in particular. A cubical icebox of side 30cm has a thickness of 5.0cm. If 4.0kg of ice is put in the box, estimate the amount of ice remaining after 6h. The outside temperature is 45°C, and co-efficient of thermal conductivity of thermacole is 0.01 J s–1 m–1 K–1. [Heat of fusion of water = 335 × 103J kg–1].
