One coolie takes 1 min to raise a box through a height 2m. Another takes 30 m/s for the same job and does the same amount of work. Which one of these two has a greater power?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Both the coolies do the same amount of work, so they spend the same amount of energy.
`W=p_(1)t_(1)=p_(2)t_(2)`
`(p_(2))/(p_(1))=(t_(1))/(t_(2))=(60sec)/(30sec)=2`
(or) `p_(2)=2p_(1)`
`2^(nd)` coolie has greater power.

Figure shows two vessels with adiabatic walls, one containing 0.1 g of helium (gamma =1.67 , M = 4 g mol^(-1)) and the other containing some amount of hydrogen (gamma = 1.4, M = 2 g mol^(-1)) . Initially , the temperatures of the two gases are equal. The gases electrically heated for some time during which equal amounts of heat are given to the gases. It is found that the temperatures rise through the same amount in the two vessels. Calculate the mass of hydrogen.

From an equilibrium state A to another equilibrium state A to another equilibrium state B an amount of work equal to 30 J is done on the system .if the gas is taken from state A to B iva a process in which the net heat observe by system is 10 cal , how much is the net work done by the system in the later case. [ Take 1 cal = 4.2 J]
