- A projectile of mass 200 g is launched in a viscous medium at an angle \(60^{\circ}\) with the horizontal, with an initial velocity of \(270 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\). It experiences a viscous drag force \(\vec{F}=-c \vec{v}\) where the drag coefficient \(c=0.1 \mathrm{~kg} / \mathrm{s}\) and \(\vec{v}\) is the instantaneous velocity of the projectile.

JEE Advanced 2012 Hard - Paragraph :
In the figure a container is shown to have a movable (without friction) piston on top. The container and the piston are all made of perfectly insulating material allowing no heat transfer between outside and inside the container. The container is divided into two compartments by a rigid partition made of a thermally conducting material that allows slow transfer of heat. The lower compartment of the container is filled with \(2\) moles of an ideal monatomic gas at \(700 K\) and the upper compartment is filled with \(2\) moles of an ideal diatomic gas at \(400 K\). The heat capacities per mole of an ideal monatomic gas are \(C_{V}=\frac{3}{2} R, C_{P}=\frac{5}{2} R\), and those for an ideal diatomic gas are \(C_{V}=\frac{5}{2} R, C_{P}=\frac{7}{2} R\).

The key feature of Bohr's theory of spectrum of hydrogen atom is the quantization of angular momentum when an electron is revolving around a proton. We will extend this to a general rotational motion to find quantized rotational energy of a diatomic molecule assuming it to be rigid. The rule to be applied is Bohr's quantization condition.
