$A$ gas is governed by an equation $V = \frac{aT^3}{P}$,where $P, V$,and $T$ are pressure,volume,and temperature of the gas respectively,and $a$ is a constant. If the temperature of the gas is doubled at constant pressure,then the work done by the gas is: (in $aT^3$)

One mole of a diatomic gas does a work $\frac{Q}{3}$,when the amount of heat supplied is $Q$. In this process,the molar heat capacity of the gas is:

$A$ heating element of resistance $r$ is fitted inside an adiabatic cylinder which carries a frictionless piston of mass $m$ and cross-sectional area $A$. The cylinder contains one mole of a diatomic gas. The temperature of the gas varies with time $t$ as $T = \alpha t + \frac{1}{2} \beta t^2$ (where $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are constants), while the pressure remains constant. The atmospheric pressure above the piston is $P_0$. Then:

An ideal gas undergoes a cyclic thermodynamic process in different ways as shown in the corresponding $P-V$ diagrams in column $3$ of the table. Consider only the path from state $1$ to $2$. $W$ denotes the corresponding work done on the system. The equations and plots in the table have standard notations as used in thermodynamic processes. Here $\gamma$ is the ratio of heat capacities at constant pressure and constant volume. The number of moles in the gas is $n$.
