A bimetallic strip consists of metals $A$ and $B$ . It is mounted rigidly at the base as shown. The metal $A$ has a higher coefficient of expansion to that for metal $B$ . When bimetallic strip is placed in a cold bath it will

Three perfect gases at absolute temperature $T_1 , T_2$ and $T_3$ are mixed. The masses of molecules are $m_1 , m_2$ and $m_3$ and the number of molecules are  $n_1 , n_2$ and $n_3$ respectively. Assuming no loss of energy, the final temperature of the mixture is
