There are two samples $A$ and $B$ of a certain gas,which are initially at the same temperature and pressure. Both are compressed from volume $V$ to $\frac{V}{2}$. Sample $A$ is compressed isothermally while sample $B$ is compressed adiabatically. The final pressure of $A$ is

An ideal gas at initial temperature $T_0$ and initial volume $V_0$ is expanded adiabatically to a volume $2 V_0$. The gas is then expanded isothermally to a volume $5 V_0$ and thereafter compressed adiabatically so that the temperature of the gas becomes again $T_0$. If the final volume of the gas is $\alpha V_0$, then the value of constant $\alpha$ is

Initial pressure and volume of a gas are $P$ and $V$ respectively. First,its volume is expanded to $4V$ by an isothermal process,and then its volume is reduced to $V$ by an adiabatic process. Find its final pressure if $\gamma = \frac{3}{2}$.

$A$ cylinder made of perfectly non-conducting material,closed at both ends,is divided into two equal parts by a heat-proof piston. Both parts of the cylinder contain the same mass of a gas at a temperature $t_0 = 27^{\circ}C$ and pressure $P_0 = 1 \text{ atm}$. If the gas in one of the parts is slowly heated to $t = 57^{\circ}C$ while the temperature of the first part is maintained at $t_0$,the distance moved by the piston from the middle of the cylinder will be $x \text{ cm}$. Find $x$ (total length of the cylinder $= 84 \text{ cm}$).
