An iron rod of heat capacity $C$ is heated to temperature $8T_0$. It is then put in a cylindrical vessel of adiabatic walls having two moles of air which can be treated as a diatomic ideal gas at temperature $T_0$ and closed by a movable piston which is also adiabatic. The atmospheric pressure is $P_0$. The cylinder with the piston combined have a heat capacity $2C$. Find the equilibrium temperature. (Assume the temperature of air to be uniform and equal to the vessel at all times).

  • A
    $\left( \frac{8C + 7R}{3C + 7R} \right) T_0$
  • B
    $\left( \frac{10C + 7R}{C + 7R} \right) T_0$
  • C
    $\left( \frac{8C + 7R}{C + 7R} \right) T_0$
  • D
    $\left( \frac{10C + 7R}{3C + 7R} \right) T_0$

$A$ copper ring has a diameter of exactly $25 \, mm$ at its temperature of $0^o C$. An aluminium sphere has a diameter of exactly $25.05 \, mm$ at its temperature of $100^o C$. The sphere is placed on top of the ring and the two are allowed to come to thermal equilibrium,with no heat being lost to the surroundings. The sphere just passes through the ring at the equilibrium temperature. The ratio of the mass of the sphere to the ring is: (Given: $\alpha_{Cu} = 17 \times 10^{-6} /^o C$,$\alpha_{Al} = 2.3 \times 10^{-5} /^o C$,specific heat of $Cu = 0.0923 \, cal/g^o C$,and specific heat of $Al = 0.215 \, cal/g^o C$)
