Consider an ideal gas in a frictionless piston cylinder assembly. The weightless piston is initially loaded with a large number of small weights. How would you carry out a reversible isothermal expansion process? Assume that a large number very small weights and an arrangement for reversible heat transfer are available.

Consider an ideal gas in a frictionless piston cylinder assembly. The weightless piston is initially loaded with a large number of small weights. How would you carry out a reversible isothermal expansion process? Assume that a large number very small weights and an arrangement for reversible heat transfer are available. Correct Answer Removing weights from the piston, transfer heat to the system

To carry out the isothermal process, the small weights will be removed from the piston one by one. When the one piece is removed it will cause the decrease in pressure and simultaneously decrease in temperature. But there will be a lot of time and the process is so small that the temperature decrease will cause the heat to flow from the surrounding to keep the temperature same and so the pressure will also remain same. Ideally, these infinite slow processes will cause the reversible isothermal process.

In the question below, are given a statement followed by three courses of actions numbered I, II and III. On the basis of the information given, you have to assume everything in the statement to be true, and then decide which of the suggested courses of action logically follow(s) for pursuing. Statement: Soon you would not need to carry original copies of all vehicle papers like driving licence, vehicle registration certificate, insurance, pollution certificate or the permits issued to commercial vehicles with you. According to a ToI report, the Centre plans to amend Motor Vehicles Rules to make it legal for any citizen to carry digital vehicle documents and simultaneously making it compulsory for traffic police to accept digital version of documents. This means that you would not have to carry physical papers in your vehicle as digital copies of the certificates would be valid.  Courses of action: I. The ministry has proposed installation of FASTags on the front windscreens. FASTag is a device that uses radio frequency identification (RFID) technology for making toll payments directly from the user account.  II. To avail the facility, one has to store all the vehicle documents on the government's cloud-based service DigiLocker and when asked he/she can simply display the stored certificates on a smartphone or any other digital devices. These digital copies can be shared with other departments as identity and address proof.  III. The government has increased the maximum load carrying capacity of heavy vehicles, including trucks, by 20-25 per cent besides scrapping the mandatory annual renewal of fitness certificates for freight carriers. Fitness certificates for trucks would now be renewed in every two years not annually.  Which of the following course/courses of action can be said to be said to be a rudimentary course/courses of action?
