A thin rod having a length of 1m1m1m and area of cross-section 3×10−6m23\times {10}^{-6}{m}^{2}3×10−6m2 is suspended vertically from one end. The rod is cooled from 210∘C210^{\circ}C210∘C to 160∘C160^{\circ}C160∘C. After cooling, a mass MMM is attached at the lower end of the rod such that the length of rod again becomes 1m1m1m. Young's modulus and coefficient of linear expansion of the rod are 2×1011Nm−22\times {10}^{11}N{m}^{-2}2×1011Nm−2 and 2×10−5K−12\times {10}^{-5}{K}^{-1}2×10−5K−1, respectively. The value of MMM is ______ kg\mathrm{kg}kg. (Take g=10ms−2g=10m{s}^{-2}g=10ms−2)

The temperature of a metal strip having coefficient of linear expansion $\alpha$ is increased from $T_1$ to $T_2$ resulting in increase of its length by $\Delta L_1$. The temperature is further increased from $T_2$ to $T_3$ such that the increase in its length is $\Delta L_2$. Given $T_3+T_1=2T_2$ and $T_2-T_1=\Delta T$, the value of $\Delta L_2$ is ______.

An ideal gas undergoes a process maintaining relation between pressure $(P)$ and volume $(V)$ as $P = P_o\left(1 + \left(\dfrac{V_o}{V}\right)^2\right)^{-1}$, where $P_o$ and $V_o$ are constants. If two samples $A$ and $B$ (two moles each) with initial volumes $V_o$ and $3V_o$ respectively undergo above mentioned process and attain same pressure, then the difference at the temperatures of these samples, $T_B - T_A$ is _____. ($R = $ gas constant)
