The three processes in a thermodynamic cycle shown in the figure are : Process $1 \rightarrow 2$ is isothermal; Process $2 \rightarrow 3$ is isochoric (volume remains constant); Process $3 \rightarrow 1$ is adiabatic. The total work done by the ideal gas in this cycle is $10 \,J$. The internal energy decreases by $20 \,J$ in the isochoric process. The work done by the gas in the adiabatic process is $-20 \,J$. The heat added to the system in the isothermal process is .............. $J$

A man is crossing a river flowing with velocity of $5\,\, m/s$. He reaches a point directly across at a distance of $60\,\, m$ in $5 \,\,sec$. His velocity in still water should be ........ $m/s$
In a carom-board game the striker and the coins are identical and of mass $m$ . In a particular hit the coin is hit when it is placed close to the edge of the board as shown in figure such that the coin travels  parallel to the edge. If the striker is moving with speed $v$ before the strike, then the net impulse on the striker during collision if it moves perpendicular to the edge after collision, is (assume all collisions to be perfectly elastic)
Pressure versus temperature graph of an ideal gas is as shown in figure. Density of the gas at point $A$ is ${\rho _0}$. Density at point $B$ will be
