17. Read the passage given below and answer any two of the four questions
that follow it : 1×2=2
Sadi Carnot visualized an ideal engine consisting of an ideal cylinder fitted
with a piston of perfectly frictionless and insulating material and filled with
a perfect gas, and there was an ideal heat source maintained at a constant
temperature T1, an ideal heat sink at a constant lower temperature T2, and
a lid of perfectly insulating material. Carnot showed that even this ideal
engine cannot convert 100% of heat into work and its efficiency does not
depend on the working substance.
Each cycle of a Carnot engine involves two isothermal strokes and two
adiabatic strokes. The indicator diagram of Carnot cycle is shown in the
figure below.

19. Read the passage given below and answer any two of the four questions
that follow it : 1×2=2
To find the net force acting on a body, we consider only the external forces.
Because, all internal forces between its molecules will add to zero as per
the Newton’s third law of motion. The same law also tells us that to find
the various external forces acting on the body, we will have to take into
account the various bodies in the surroundings of the body which interact
with it.
The net force acting on the body is determined geometrically by applying
the law of polygon or algebraically by applying the method of resolution of
vectors.
The body is in translational equilibrium if the net force acting on the body
is zero.
(a) While calculating the resultant force acting on a body, why do we not
take into account the interaction forces between its molecules?

(b) What is the condition under which a body stays in equilibrium under
two forces?

(c) What are the conditions under which a body stays in equilibrium
under three forces?

(d)

A book is placed on a table. What are the various forces acting on the
book?

42. A metallic rod of length l is rotated with a frequency . One end of the rod is
hinged at the centre and the other end at the circumference of a circular
metallic ring. It is rotating about an axis passing through the centre and 
normal to the plane of the ring. A constant and uniform magnetic field B
parallel to the axis is present everywhere. (a) Obtain an expression for the
e.m.f. induced between the centre and the ring. (b) Given that the rod has
resistance R, how much power will be generated? 5
