$A$ heating element of mass $100 \,g$ and having specific heat of $1 \,J/(g^{\circ}C)$ is exposed to surrounding air at $27^{\circ}C$. The element attains a steady state temperature of $127^{\circ}C$, while absorbing $100 \,W$ of electric power. If the power is switched off, then the approximate time taken by the element to cool down to $126^{\circ}C$ will be (neglect radiation). (in $\,s$)

$A$ mass of $50\,g$ of water in a closed vessel,with surroundings at a constant temperature,takes $2\,minutes$ to cool from $30\,^oC$ to $25\,^oC$. $A$ mass of $100\,g$ of another liquid in an identical vessel with identical surroundings takes the same time to cool from $30\,^oC$ to $25\,^oC$. The specific heat of the liquid is .......... $kcal/(kg \cdot ^oC)$ (The water equivalent of the vessel is $30\,g$).
