$A$ fixed amount of a gas undergoes a thermodynamic process as shown in the figure,such that the heat interaction along path $B \to C \to A$ is equal to the work done by the gas along path $A \to B \to C$. Then the process $A \to B$ is:

  • A
    can only be isothermal
  • B
    can only be adiabatic
  • C
    can be isothermal or adiabatic
  • D
    none of the above

$A$ monoatomic ideal gas,initially at temperature $T_1$,is enclosed in a cylinder fitted with a frictionless piston. The gas is allowed to expand adiabatically to a temperature $T_2$ by releasing the piston suddenly. If $L_1$ and $L_2$ are the lengths of the gas column before and after expansion respectively,then $T_1/T_2$ is given by

$A$ small spherical monoatomic ideal gas bubble $\left(\gamma=\frac{5}{3}\right)$ is trapped inside a liquid of density $\rho_{\ell}$ (see figure). Assume that the bubble does not exchange any heat with the liquid. The bubble contains $n$ moles of gas. The temperature of the gas when the bubble is at the bottom is $T_0$, the height of the liquid is $H$ and the atmospheric pressure is $P_0$ (Neglect surface tension).
$1.$ As the bubble moves upwards, besides the buoyancy force, the following forces are acting on it:
$(A)$ Only the force of gravity
$(B)$ The force due to gravity and the force due to the pressure of the liquid
$(C)$ The force due to gravity, the force due to the pressure of the liquid, and the force due to viscosity of the liquid
$(D)$ The force due to gravity and the force due to viscosity of the liquid
