An external pressure P is applied on a cube at 0°C so that it is equally compressed from all sides.K is the bulk modulus of the material of the cube and α is its coefficient of linear expansion. Suppose we want to bring the cube to its original size by heating. The temperature should be raised by

A long metallic bar is carrying heat from one of its ends to the other end under steady-state. The variation of temperature θ along the length x of the bar from its hot end is best described by which of the following figure.

If C_p and Cv denote the specific heats of nitrogen per unit mass at constant pressure and constant volume respectively, then

• C_p – C_v = R/28

• C_p −C_v = R/14

• C_p −C_v = R

• C_p −C_v = R

Assuming the sun to be a spherical body of radius R at a temperature of T K, evaluate the total radiant power, incident on Earth, at a distance r from the Sun.

where r₀ is the radius of the Earth and σ is Stefan’s constant

Two rigid boxes containing different ideal gases are placed on a table. Box A contains one mole of nitrogen at temperature T₀, while Box B contains one mole of helium at temperature (7/3) T₀. The boxes are then put into thermal contact with each other and heat flows between them until the gases reach a common final temperature. (Ignore the heat capacity of boxes). Then, the final temperature of the gases, T_f, in terms of T₀ is

The figure shows a system of two concentric spheres of radii r₁ and r₂ and kept at temperatures T₁ and T₂ respectively. The radial rate of flow of heat in a substance between the two concentric sphere is proportional to

A heater coil is cut into two equal parts and only one part is now used in the heater. The heat generated will now be
