In an experiment,a sphere of aluminium of mass $0.20\, kg$ is heated up to $150\, ^\circ C$. Immediately,it is put into water of volume $150\, cc$ at $27\, ^\circ C$ kept in a calorimeter of water equivalent $0.025\, kg$. The final temperature of the system is $40\, ^\circ C$. The specific heat of aluminium is ............ $J/kg\cdot ^\circ C$ (take $4.2\, J = 1\, cal$).

$37 \ g$ of ice at $0^{\circ} C$ is mixed with $74 \ g$ of water at $70^{\circ} C$. What is the resultant temperature (in $^{\circ} C$)? (Specific heat capacity of water $= 1 \ cal \ g^{-1} {}^{\circ} C^{-1}$ and latent heat of fusion of ice $= 80 \ cal \ g^{-1}$)

In a waterfall,the water falls from a height of $100 \ m$. If the entire kinetic energy $(K.E.)$ of the water is converted into heat,the rise in temperature of the water will be ........ $^\circ C$.

$A$ $10 \ W$ 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:
