1. Find the rate v with which helium flows out of a thermally insulated vessel into vacuum through a
small hole. The flow rate of the gas inside the vessel is assumed to be negligible under these
conditions. The temperature of helium in the vessel is T=1000 K.

2. Four large plane parallel plates A,B,C and D are placed parallel to each other from left to right. The
leftmost plate A and rightmost plate D are maintained at 2T0 and T0 respectively. All plates behave

wire is allowed to cool to a temperature of 29.60 C . If the frequency of note produced when the wire

6. A vertical U tube is completely filled with a liquid of density ρ. The

inner cross-sectional area of each of the vertical arms of the U tube is

them is open to the atmosphere, and the other one is connected to flask

Find the amount of the heat, which must be given to the gas to drive
slowly half of the liquid out of the tube. The atmospheric pressure is
constant and equal to P0.Pressure of liquid vapors, effects of surface
tension and heat loss to the environment are negligible. Acceleration
due to gravity is g.

7. A uniform disc of mass M and radius R rotating with angular frequency 0 in its own plane is
gently placed on another identical disc which is fixed to a horizontal table. If the coefficient of
friction between the surfaces of the disc be µ, find the rate at which temperature of the two disc
system increases with time. It can be assumed that any loss in kinetic energy instantly changes into
heat energy. Specific heat capacity of material of disc is S. Assume no loss of heat to surroundings.

acceleration 'a' towards right , find the stretch of the
spring when acceleration of piston equals acceleration

surface of coefficient of friction µ=0.3. Area of cross-
section of cylinder is A=25 cm2.
Initially the spring is in a relax position and the temperature of the gas is 400 K. The gas is slowly
heated for sometime by means of an electric heater so as the block M just starts moving. Find
(a) the work done by the gas
(b) the final temperature
(c) heat supplied by the heater
