$A$ piece of metal of mass $5 \ kg$ and temperature $-50 \ ^\circ C$ is dropped in $20 \ kg$ water at $52 \ ^\circ C$ temperature. In thermal equilibrium,the temperature of water decreases by $2 \ ^\circ C$. Find the specific heat of the metal in $Cal/g \ ^\circ C$.

Two identical bodies are made of a material for which the heat capacity increases with temperature. One of these is held at a temperature of $100^{\circ} C$,while the other one is kept at $0^{\circ} C$. If the two are brought into contact,then assuming no heat loss to the environment,the final temperature that they will reach is

$10 \, g$ of ice at $0 \, ^oC$ is mixed with $m \, g$ of water at $50 \, ^oC$. What is the minimum value of $m$ (in $g$) so that the ice melts completely? (Given: $L_f = 80 \, cal/g$ and $S_W = 1 \, cal/g \cdot ^oC$)

$A$ $10 \,kW$ drilling machine is used to drill a bore in an aluminium block of mass $25 \,kg$. If the machine is on for $3 \,minutes$ and $50 \%$ of the heat liberated is absorbed by the block, what is the rise in temperature of the block (in $^{\circ} C$)? (Specific heat of aluminium is $900 \,J \,kg^{-1} \,K^{-1}$)

Steam at $100\,^{\circ}C$ is passed into $22\,g$ of water at $20\,^{\circ}C$. The mass of water that will be present when the water acquires a temperature of $90\,^{\circ}C$ (Latent heat of steam is $540\,cal/g$) is ......... $g$.

The temperatures of two liquids $A$ and $B$ are $32 \, ^\circ C$ and $24 \, ^\circ C$ respectively. When equal masses of both are mixed,the temperature of the mixture becomes $28 \, ^\circ C$. The ratio of their specific heats is .....
