If a cylinder containing a gas at high pressure explodes, the gas undergoes

a long coaxial cable consits of two thin-walled conducting cyclider carries a steady current 0.1 A , and the outer cylinder provides the return path for that current. The current produced a magnetic field between the two cylinders. Find the energy stored in the magnetic field for length 5m of the cable. Express answer in Nj (use 1n2 = 0.7 ).

An adiabatic cylinder has length 2 L and cross sectional area A. A freely moving non conducting piston of negligible thickness divides the cylinder into two equal parts. The piston is connected to the right face of the cylinder with an ideal spring of force constant k. The right chamber contains 28 g nitrogen in which one third of the molecules are dissociated into atoms. The left chamber container 4 g helium. With piston in equilibrium and spring relaxed the pressure in both chamber is P_(0) . The helium chamber is slowly given heat using an electric heater (H), till the piston moves to right by a distance (3L)/(4) . Neglect the volume occupied by the spring and the heating coil. Also neglect heat capacity of the spring. (a) Find the ratio of C_(P) and C_(V) for nitrogen gas in right chamber. (b) Calculate change in temperature of helium. (c) Calculate heat supplied by the heater.

A coiaxial cable consists of two thin coaxial cylinders electrically connected at one end, an inner cylindrical conducting tube of radius a carrying a steady current l which is screened by an outer cylindrical conducting sheath of radius b which provides a return path. There is no dielectric medium present. Use Ampere's theorem to derive the total magnetic energy stored in the space between the conductors, show that the inductance of a length l of the cable is L=(mu_(0)l)/(2pi)ln((b)/(a)) In this cable (a = 5 mm, b = 10 mm, l = 1000 m) is now employed in a (resistanceless) LC circuit containing a capacitance C = 1000 muF , determine the period of oscillations (neglect the capacitance of the cable itself).

A cylinder of radius 12cm contains water to a depth of 20cm .A spherical iron ball is dropped into the cylinder and thus the level of water is raised by 6.75cm. Find the radius of the ball. (use pi=(22)/(7))

The cirtical angular velocity omega_c of a cylinder inside another cylinder containing a liquied at which its turbulance occurs depends on visocisity eta density rho and disntac d between wall of the cylinder. Obtain an expression for omega_c using method of dimensios.
