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 ....... $^{\circ} C$.

The densities of wood and benzene at $0^{\circ} C$ are $880 \ kg \ m^{-3}$ and $900 \ kg \ m^{-3}$,respectively. The coefficients of volume expansion are $1.2 \times 10^{-3} \ ^{\circ}C^{-1}$ for wood and $1.5 \times 10^{-3} \ ^{\circ}C^{-1}$ for benzene. The temperature at which a piece of wood just sinks in benzene is (in $^{\circ} C$)

$A$ $10.0 \,W$ electrical heater is used to heat a container filled with $0.5 \,kg$ of water. It is found that the temperature of the water and the container rose by $3 \,K$ in $15 \,min$. The container is then emptied,dried,and filled with $2 \,kg$ of an oil. It is now observed that the same heater raises the temperature of the container-oil system by $2 \,K$ in $20 \,min$. Assuming no other heat losses in any of the processes,the specific heat capacity of the oil is ................ $\times 10^3 \,J K^{-1} kg^{-1}$.

$A$ beaker is filled completely with water at $4^{\circ} C$. Identify the incorrect statement.

$A$ beaker of height $H$ is made up of a material whose coefficient of linear thermal expansion is $3\alpha$. It is filled up to the brim by a liquid whose coefficient of thermal expansion is $\alpha$. If now the beaker along with its contents is uniformly heated through a small temperature $T$,the level of liquid will reduce by (given $\alpha T << 1$):
