An ideal monatomic gas with pressure $P$, volume $V$ and temperature $T$ is expanded isothermally to a volume $2 V$ and a final pressure $P_i$. If the same gas is expanded adiabatically to a volume $2 \mathrm{~V}$, the final pressure is $P_a$. The ratio $\frac{P_a}{P_i}$ is

This question has Statement 1 and Statement 2. Of the four choices given after the Statements, choose the one that best describes the two Statements. Statement 1: In an adiabatic process, change in internal energy of a gas is equal to work done on/ by the gas in the process. Statement 2: The temperature of a gas remains constant in an adiabatic process.

A wooden wheel of radius $\mathrm{R}$ is made of two semicircular parts (see figure); The two parts are held together by a ring made of a metal strip of cross sectional area S and length $L$. $L$ is slightly less than $2 \pi R$. To fit the ring on the wheel, it is heated so that its temperature rises by $\Delta \mathrm{T}$ and it just steps over the wheel. As it cools down to surrounding temperature, it presses the semicircular parts together. If the coefficient of linear expansion of the metal is $\alpha$, and its Youngs' modulus is $Y$, the force that one part of the wheel applies on the other part is : ![JEE Main 2012 Physics, Thermal Properties of Matter — question figure](https://prepforbharat.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/exam/615f0e999476412f48314daf/Physics/images/Thermal_Properties_of_Matter/648b5a63417cc3fb48d65af5/question_1__q_648b5a63417cc3fb48d65af5__cdn-question-pool.getmarks.app__3PRx8aBt7A9OIY0MrkQ5PbuWekrDeRfZU1cHhi_z5X8.original.fullsiz__4fba766e99_final_ppt_sync.png)

A large cylindrical rod of length $L$ is made by joining two identical rods of copper and steel of length $\left(\frac{L}{2}\right)$ each. The rods are completely insulated from the surroundings. If the free end of copper rod is maintained at $100^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ and that of steel at $0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ then the temperature of junction is (Thermal conductivity of copper is 9 times that of steel)
