$50 \text{ g}$ of copper is heated to increase its temperature by $10^{\circ} \text{C}$. If the same quantity of heat is given to $10 \text{ g}$ of water,the rise in temperature is (specific heat of $\text{Cu} = 420 \text{ J kg}^{-1} {}^{\circ} \text{C}^{-1}$ and specific heat of water is $4200 \text{ J kg}^{-1} {}^{\circ} \text{C}^{-1}$) (in $^{\circ} \text{C}$)

The specific heat $C$ of a solid at low temperature shows temperature dependence according to the relation $C = D T^{3}$,where $D$ is a constant and $T$ is the temperature in Kelvin. $A$ piece of this solid of mass $m \ kg$ is taken and its temperature is raised from $20 \ K$ to $30 \ K$. The amount of heat required in the process in energy units is
