The molar specific heats of an ideal gas at constant pressure and volume are denoted by C_p and C_v, respectively. If  $$\gamma $$ = $${{{C_p}} \over {{C_v}}}$$ and R is the universal gas constant, then C_v is equal to

The following four wires are made of the same material. Which of these will have the largest extension when the same tension is applied?

The wettability of a surface by a liquid depends primarily on

A slab of stone of area 0.36 m² and thickness 0.1 m is exposed on the lower surface to steam at 100^oC. A block of ice at 0^oC rests on the upper surface of the slab. In one hour 4.8 kg of ice is melted. The thermal conductivity of slab is
