Q.2 A sample of ideal gas is taken through the cyclic process shown in the
figure. The temperature of the gas at state A is TA=200 K. At states B
and C the temperature of the gas is the same.
What is the greatest temperature of the gas in kelvins during the cyclic process?
[Sol. At B and C (TB = TC)

TB = TC

PB VA PC 3VA
TB = TC
PB = 3PC
for line AC P  V (straight line through origin)

Q.3fl Two objects of equal volume V=1m3 and different densities d1= 500 kg/m3 and
d2 = 1000 kg/m3 are glued to each other so that their contact surface is flat and
has an area A = 0.1 m2. When the objects are submerged in a certain liquid,
they float in stable equilibrium, the contact surface being parallel to the surface
of the liquid (see the diagram). How deep (H in meters) can the contact surface
be in the liquid so that the objects are not torn apart? The maximum force that
the glue can withstand is F=250 N.
[Ans H =3m]
[Sol. At the "critical" depth H, the equilibrium condition for the compound object suggests that the density of
the liquid is d = (d1 + d2)/2. For the top and the bottom object taken separately, the equilibrium conditions
are, respectively:
d1Vg + F – (dVg – dgAH) = 0
d2Vg – F – (dVg + dgAH) = 0
(For each object, the term in parentheses indicates the " effective" buoyancy force.)
Combining the last two equations yields the answer : H = [(d2–d1)Vg – 2F] / [(d1 + d2) gA] ]
Q.4 An inclined plane is placed on a horizontal smooth surface. The plane is
struck by an elastic ball whose velocity is horizontal just before the impact.
The ball bounces off the inclined plane and then lands on it again at the
point of first impact. Find the ratio of the masses of the ball and the inclined
plane. (Angle  = 30°)
[Sol. This happens of after collision both ball and inclined plane have same horizontal velocities say V 2 say
V1 be initial velocity of ball Vy be vertical velocity of ball after collision, m1 – mass of ball , m2 – mass of
inclined plane

Q.5 A radio receiver is set up on a mast in the middle of a calm lake to track the radio signal from a satellite
orbiting the earth. As the satellite rises above the horizon, the intensity of the signal varies periodically.
The intensity is at a maximum when the satellite is 1 = 0.01 radian above the horizon and then again at
2 = 0.03 radian above the horizon. What is the wavelength  (in meters) of the satellite signal? The
receiver is h = 4.0 m above the lake surface. [Ans. 0.16 m]
