Two cylinders $A$ and $B$ fitted with pistons contain equal number of moles of an ideal monoatomic gas at $400 \,K$. The piston of $A$ is free to move while that of $B$ is held fixed. The same amount of heat energy is given to the gas in each cylinder. If the rise in temperature of the gas in $A$ is $42 \,K$, what is the rise in temperature of the gas in $B$ (in $\,K$)? (Given $\gamma = 5/3$)

An ideal monatomic gas of $n$ moles is taken through a cycle $W-X-Y-Z-W$ consisting of consecutive adiabatic and isobaric quasi-static processes,as shown in the schematic $V-T$ diagram. The volumes of the gas at $W, X,$ and $Y$ points are $64 \ cm^3, 125 \ cm^3,$ and $250 \ cm^3,$ respectively. If the absolute temperature of the gas $T_W$ at point $W$ is such that $nRT_W = 1 \ J$ ($R$ is the universal gas constant),then the amount of heat absorbed (in $J$) by the gas along the path $XY$ is $.....$

Initial pressure and volume of a gas are $P$ and $V$ respectively. First it is expanded isothermally to volume $4V$ and then compressed adiabatically to volume $V$. The final pressure of the gas will be (given $\gamma = 3/2$): (in $,P$)

Five moles of an ideal gas has pressure $p_0$, volume $V_0$, and temperature $T_0$. The gas is expanded to volume $3V_0$ along a path such that the pressure $p$ changes as a function of volume $V$ as $p = p_0(V/V_0)$. The pressure is then reduced to $p_0$ while maintaining constant volume. Finally, the gas undergoes an isobaric compression until the volume and temperature return to $V_0$ and $T_0$, respectively. The total work done by the gas during the entire process is:
