A coal based thermal power plant producing electricity operates between the temperatures 27°C and 227°C. The plant works at 80% of its maximum theoretical efficiency. Complete burning of 1 kg of coal yields 36000 KJ of heat. A house needs 10 units of electricity each day. Coal used for supplying the amount of energy for the house in one year is

In the given figure, an ideal gas is trapped between a mercury column and the closed end of a uniform vertical tube. The upper end of the tube is open to the atmosphere. Initially, the lengths of the mercury column and the trapped air column are 12 cm and 50 cm, respectively. When the tube is tilted slowly in a vertical plane through an angle of 30° with horizontal, then the new length of air column is x 41 m. Find x (assume the temperature to remain constant (Patm=76 cm of Hg)).
