$A$ metal ball immersed in alcohol weighs $W_1$ at $0^{\circ}C$ and $W_2$ at $50^{\circ}C$. The coefficient of cubical expansion of the metal $(\gamma)_m$ is less than that of alcohol $(\gamma)_{Al}$. Assuming that the density of the metal is large compared to that of alcohol,it can be shown that:

  • A
    $W_1 > W_2$
  • B
    $W_1 = W_2$
  • C
    $W_1 < W_2$
  • D
    any of $(a), (b)$ or $(c)$

$A$ liquid at $30^{\circ} C$ is poured very slowly into a calorimeter at $110^{\circ} C$. The boiling point of the liquid is $80^{\circ} C$. It is observed that the first $5 \ gm$ of the liquid evaporates completely. After adding another $80 \ gm$ of the liquid,the equilibrium temperature is found to be $50^{\circ} C$. What is the ratio of the latent heat of the liquid to its specific heat? [Neglect heat exchange with the surroundings]
