Question

When we stir a liquid vigorously, it becomes warm. Is it a reversible process?

✓

Answer

When we stir a liquid vigorously, we do work on it due to which its temperature rises and it becomes warm. To bring back the liquid to the initial temperature, heat needs to be extracted from it. But it is an irreversible process that cannot be brought back to the initial state by stirring the liquid again in the opposite direction.

Show that the slopes of the lines in the two cases are equal and find its value.

The sap in trees, which consists mainly of water in summer, rises in a system of capillaries of radius $r = 2.5 \times 10^{-5}m$. The surface tension of sap is $T = 7.28 \times 10^{-2}N m^{-1}$ and the angle of contact is $0°$. Does surface tension alone account for the supply of water to the top of all trees?
