Question
A mass of ideal gas is first expanded isothermally and then compressed adiabatically to its original volume.
What further simplest operation must be performed on the gas to restore it to its original state.
- An isobaric cooling to bring its temperature to its initial value.
- An isothermal process to take its pressure to its initial state.
- An isochoric cooling to bring its pressure to its initial state.
- An isochoric heating to bring its temperature to its initial value.
The correct answer is: An isothermal process to take its pressure to its initial state.

In figure a, string 1 has a linear mass density of 3 g/m, and string 2 has a linear mass density of 4.5 g/m. They are under tension due to the hanging block of mass M = 500 g as shown in figure (A)
The block is now divided into two blocks (with M1 + M2 = M) and the apparatus is rearranged as shown in figure b. If the speeds of transverse waves in the two strings are equal the values of M1 and M2 will be respectively
