$A$ liquid of mass $250 g$ is kept warm in a vessel using an electric heater. The liquid is maintained at $57^{\circ} C$ when the power supplied by the heater is $30 W$ and the surrounding temperature is $27^{\circ} C$. As the heater is switched off,it takes $10 s$ for the temperature of the liquid to fall from $47^{\circ} C$ to $46.9^{\circ} C$. The specific heat capacity of the liquid is:

  • A
    $8000 J kg^{-1} K^{-1}$
  • B
    $9000 J kg^{-1} K^{-1}$
  • C
    $6000 J kg^{-1} K^{-1}$
  • D
    $12000 J kg^{-1} K^{-1}$

$A$ sphere of density $\rho$,specific heat capacity $c$,and radius $r$ is hung by a thermally insulating thread in an enclosure which is kept at a lower temperature than the sphere. The temperature of the sphere starts to drop at a rate which depends upon the temperature difference between the sphere and the enclosure and the nature of the surface of the sphere and is proportional to

$A$ body takes $4\, \text{min}$ to cool from $61^{\circ} \text{C}$ to $59^{\circ} \text{C}$. If the temperature of the surroundings is $30^{\circ} \text{C}$,the time taken by the body to cool from $51^{\circ} \text{C}$ to $49^{\circ} \text{C}$ is $....\, \text{min}$.
