Consider the system shown in the
figure. Initially the system was in rest.
(i) Find the acceleration of block if man
climbs the rod with acceleration a (w.r.t.
rod)
(ii) If the man climb to the top of the
rod then find the distance moved by the
block.
The standard enthalpy of formation of
gaseous H_2 O at 298 K is −241.82 kJ
mol^(−1) . Estimate its value of 100°C given
the following values of the molar heat
capacities at constant pressure:
H_2 O(g) : 35.58 JK^(−1) mol^(−1) , H_2 (g) :
28.84 J mol^(−1) K^(−1) and O_2 (g) : 29.37 J
mol^(−1) K^(−1) . Assume heat capacity to be
independent of temperature.
A baloon filled with helium rises against
gravity increasing its potential energy.
The speed of the baloon also increases
as it rises. How do you reconcile this
with the law of conservation of
mechanical energy? You can neglect
viscous drag of air and assume that
density of air is constant.
