Heat is being supplied at a constant rate to a sphere of ice which is melting at the rate of $0.1 \, g/s$. It melts completely in $100 \, s$. The rate of rise of temperature thereafter will be ........ $^\circ C/s$ (Assume no loss of heat.)

$A$ continuous flow water heater (geyser) has an electrical power rating $= 2 \, kW$ and efficiency of conversion of electrical power into heat $= 80 \%$. If water is flowing through the device at the rate of $100 \, cc/sec$,and the inlet temperature is $10^{\circ} C$,the outlet temperature will be ....... $^{\circ} C$.

Out of the following,in which vessel will the temperature of the solution be higher after the salt is completely dissolved?

$A$ metal ball immersed in alcohol weighs $W_1$ at $0^{\circ}C$ and $W_2$ at $59^{\circ}C$. The coefficient of cubical expansion of the metal is less than that of alcohol. Assuming that the density of metal is large compared to that of alcohol,it can be shown that

$A$ drilling machine of $10 \, kW$ power is used to drill a bore in a small aluminium block of mass $8 \, kg$. If $50 \%$ of power is used up in heating the machine itself or lost to the surroundings,then the rise in temperature of the block in $2.5 \, minutes$ is ........ $^\circ C$. [Specific heat of aluminium $= 0.91 \, J/g \cdot ^\circ C$]
