A centigrade and a Fahrenheit thermometer are dipped in boiling water. The water temp is lowered until the Fahrenheit temp. register $140^o$. What is the fall in the temperature as registered by centigrade thermometer ....... $^oC$

The coefficient of apparent expansion of mercury in a glass vessel is  $153 × 10^{-6}{°C^{-1}}$ and in a steel vessel is $144 × 10^{-6}{°C^{-1}}$. If $\alpha$ for steel is $12 × 10^{-6}{°C^{-1}}$, then that of glass is

If there are no heat losses, the heat released by the condensation of $x$ gm of steam at $100^o C$ into water at $100^o C$ can be used to convert $y$ gm of ice at $0^o C$ into water at $100^o C$. Then the ratio $y : x$ is nearly

If mass-energy equivalence is taken into account, when water is cooled to from ice. The mass of water should

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

Amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a body through $1 ^o C$ is called its
