Is the Straight Line in a Carnot Cycle Graph Isobaric or Isothermal?

AI Thread Summary
In the context of a Carnot cycle graph, a straight line with a constant gradient indicates a specific thermodynamic process. The discussion centers on determining whether this line represents an isothermal or isobaric process. Participants seek clarity on how to calculate the heat absorbed or liberated during this process. Understanding the stages of the Carnot cycle is crucial for correctly identifying the nature of the line. The confusion primarily arises from interpreting the implications of a straight line in thermodynamic terms.

The Attempt at a Solution


I really need your help.
I really am confuse. Is that isotermal,or isobaric ?

Remember the stages of the Carnot cycle. How does a straight line apply here?
 
Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanged mass'

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanged mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
