$200 \, g$ of a solid ball at $20 \, ^oC$ is dropped into an equal amount of water at $80 \, ^oC$. The resulting temperature is $60 \, ^oC$. This means that the specific heat of the solid is

$A$ $2100 W$ continuous flow geyser (instant geyser) has water inlet temperature $= 10^{\circ}C$ while the water flows out at the rate of $20\,g/s$. The outlet temperature of water must be about ....... $^{\circ}C$.

An aluminium piece of mass $50 \,g$ initially at $300^{\circ} C$ is dipped quickly and taken out of $1 \,kg$ of water,initially at $30^{\circ} C$. If the temperature of the aluminium piece immediately after being taken out of the water is found to be $160^{\circ} C$,the temperature of the water is ............ $^{\circ} C$. The specific heat capacities of aluminium and water are $900 \,J \,kg^{-1} K^{-1}$ and $4200 \,J \,kg^{-1} K^{-1}$,respectively.

In an experiment on the specific heat of a metal,a $0.20 \; kg$ block of the metal at $150 \; ^{\circ}C$ is dropped in a copper calorimeter (of water equivalent $0.025 \; kg$) containing $150 \; cm^{3}$ of water at $27 \; ^{\circ}C$. The final temperature is $40 \; ^{\circ}C$. Compute the specific heat of the metal. If heat losses to the surroundings are not negligible,is your answer greater or smaller than the actual value for the specific heat of the metal?

$A$ $10 \ W$ electric heater is used to heat a container filled with $0.5 \ kg$ of water. It is found that the temperature of the water and the container rises by $3 \ K$ in $15 \ min$. The container is then emptied, dried, and filled with $2 \ kg$ of oil. The same heater now raises the temperature of the container-oil system by $2 \ K$ in $20 \ min$. Assuming that there is no heat loss in the process and the specific heat of water is $4200 \ J \ kg^{-1} \ K^{-1}$, the specific heat of oil in the same unit is equal to:

Steam at $100^{\circ} C$ is passed into $1 \ kg$ of water contained in a calorimeter of water equivalent $0.2 \ kg$ at $9^{\circ} C$ until the temperature of the calorimeter and water in it increases to $90^{\circ} C$. The mass of steam condensed in $kg$ is nearly (specific heat of water $= 1 \ cal/g^{\circ} C$, latent heat of vaporisation $= 540 \ cal/g$)
