An ideal gas with pressure $P$,volume $V$ and temperature $T$ is expanded isothermally to a volume $2V$ and a final pressure $P_i$. The same gas is expanded adiabatically to a volume $2V$,the final pressure is $P_a$. In terms of the ratio of the two specific heats for the gas $\gamma$,the ratio $\frac{P_i}{P_a}$ is

  • A
    $2^{\gamma+1}$
  • B
    $2^{\gamma-1}$
  • C
    $2^{1-\gamma}$
  • D
    $2^{\gamma}$

$10,000$ small balls,each of mass $1 \, g$,strike a surface of area $1 \, cm^2$ per second with a velocity of $100 \, m/s$ perpendicular to the surface. They rebound with the same velocity. What is the pressure exerted on the surface?

The following figure shows the $P-T$ graph for four processes $A, B, C,$ and $D$. Select the correct alternative.

$n$ moles of a perfect gas undergo a cyclic process $ABCA$ (see figure) consisting of the following processes:
$A \rightarrow B :$ Isothermal expansion at temperature $T$ so that the volume is doubled from $V_{1}$ to $V_{2}=2V_{1}$ and pressure changes from $P_{1}$ to $P_{2}$.
$B \rightarrow C :$ Isobaric compression at pressure $P_{2}$ to initial volume $V_{1}$.
$C \rightarrow A :$ Isochoric change leading to a change of pressure from $P_{2}$ to $P_{1}$.
Total work done in the complete cycle $ABCA$ is

If one mole of an ideal gas goes through the process $A \rightarrow B$ and $B \rightarrow C$ as shown in the $P-V$ diagram. Given that $T_A = 400 \, K$ and $T_C = 400 \, K$. If $\frac{P_B}{P_A} = \frac{1}{5}$,then find the total heat supplied to the gas (in $J$). (in $.2$)
