The ends Q and R of two thin wires, PQ and RS, are soldered (joined) together. Initially, each of the wire has a length of 1m 100 C. Now, the end P is maintained at 10° C, While the end S is heated and maintained at 400° C. The system is thermally insulated from its surroundings. If the thermal conductivity of wire PQ is twice that of the wire RS and the coefficient of linear thermal expansion of PQ is  $1.2 \times 10^{-5}K^{-1}$, the change in length of the wire PQ is


A) 0.78mm

B) 0.90mm

C) 1.56mm

D) 2.34mm

A gas is enclosed in a cylinder with a movable frictionless piston. Its initial thermodynamic state at pressure $P_{i}=10^{5}$ Pa  and volume $V_{i}=10^{-3}m^{3}$ changes to final state at  $P_{f}=(\frac{1}{32})\times 10^{5} P_{a}$  and  $V_{f}=8 \times 10^{-3} m^{3}$ in an adiabatic  quasi-static  process, such  that $ P^{3} V^{5}$ =  constant. Consider another thermodynamic process that brings the system from the same initial state to the same final state in two steps : an isobaric expansion at $P_{i}$  followed by an isochoric(isovolumetric) process at  volume $V_{f}$ . The amount of heat supplied to the system  in the two step process is approximately

The electrostatic energy of Zprotons uniformly distributed throughout a spherical nucleus of radius R is given by $E=\frac{3}{5}\frac{Z(Z-1)e^{2}}{4\pi\epsilon_{0}R}$.The measured masses of the neutron, $_{1}^{1}H,_{7}^{15}N $and $ _{8}^{15}O $are  1.008665u. 1.007825u, 15.000109u and 15.003065 u. respectively. Given that the radii of both the $_{7}^{15}N $ and$ _{8}^{15} O $ nuclei are same,1 u =931.5MeV/c2 ,c is the speed of light and $e^{2}/(4\pi \epsilon_{0})=1.44$ meV fm.Assuming that the difference between the binding energies of $_{7}^{15}N $ and $_{8}^{15}O$  is purely due to the electrostatic energy, the radius of either of the nuclei is (1 fm = 10-15m)


A) 2.85 fm

A metal is heated in a furnace where a sensor is kept above the metal surface to read the power radiated (P) by the metal. The sensor has a scale that displays \log(P/P_{0}) where P0 is a constant. When the metal surface is at a temperature of 4870C, the sensor shows a value 1. Assume that the emissivity of the metallic surface remains constant. What is the value displayed by the sensor when the temperature of the metal surface is raised to 27670C?


A) 10

B) 8

C) 5

D) 9
