The figure shows a cylindrical adiabatic container of total volume $2V_0$ divided into two equal parts by a conducting piston (which is free to move). Each part contains an identical gas at pressure $P_0$. Initially,the temperature of the left and right parts is $4T_0$ and $T_0$ respectively. An external force is applied on the piston to keep it at rest. Find the value of the external force required when thermal equilibrium is reached. ($A =$ Area of the piston)

$A$ given mass of a gas is compressed isothermally until its pressure is doubled. It is then allowed to expand adiabatically until its original volume is restored and its pressure is then found to be $0.75$ of its initial pressure. The ratio of the specific heats of the gas is approximately:

One mole of an ideal monoatomic gas undergoes the process $A \rightarrow B \rightarrow C \rightarrow D \rightarrow A$ as shown in the graph. The work done during the process is

$A$ cyclic process $ABCDA$ is shown in the $P-V$ diagram. Which of the following curves represent the same process?

An ideal gas at pressure $P_0$ undergoes an isothermal expansion until its volume is $8.0$ times its initial volume. The gas is slowly and adiabatically compressed back to its original volume. If the adiabatic constant of the gas is $\gamma = 4/3$, then the ratio of the average kinetic energy per molecule in this final state to that in the initial state is
