    Two pulleys lifting a mass in parallel

    if the ends P and Q are being pulled down with a uniform speed its acceleration is zero and hence the Tension in the string will also be zero and if this is the case which force will make the block of mass M rise? is this a fatal flaw in the question?

    Finding the efficiency of an ideal gas with adiabatic exponent 'γ'

    Here is what I did : work done in going from A to C, W1 = 2nRToln(2) (isothermal process) work done in going from C to B, W1 = pΔV = nRΔT = -nRTo (isobaric process) work done in going from B to A, W3 = 0 (isochoric process) so, total work done = W1 + W2 + W3...

    Angular Velocity of a Car going around a curve

    θ=90°= π /2 so the instantaneous angular velocity dθ/dt= lim∆ t -> 0 (θ(t + ∆ t)-θ(t))/(∆ t) When I calculate it out it is π /2 radians per second. Is this correct?

    Finding frequency and wavelength of waves on a string

    Okay well I'm stuck on this one. I know that lamba times frequency is wave speed and 1/f is period. I think that the wavelength of the wave is four but what is the frequency? (1/2)? Would I multiply 4*1/2 to get 2 m/s as the wave speed and then if the frequency doubles to .25, the wavelength be...
