$A$ gas is compressed isothermally to half its initial volume. The same gas is compressed separately through an adiabatic process until its volume is again reduced to half. Then

  • A
    Compressing the gas isothermally will require more work to be done.
  • B
    Compressing the gas through adiabatic process will require more work to be done.
  • C
    Compressing the gas isothermally or adiabatically will require the same amount of work.
  • D
    Which of the case (whether compression through isothermal or through adiabatic process) requires more work will depend upon the atomicity of the gas.

$A$ light string fixed at one end to a clamp on the ground passes over a fixed pulley and hangs on the other side. It makes an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with the ground. $A$ monkey of mass $5 \, kg$ climbs up the rope. The clamp can tolerate a vertical force of $40 \, N$ only. The maximum acceleration in the upward direction with which the monkey can climb safely is ............ $m/s^2$ (neglect friction and take $g = 10 \, m/s^2$).
