उत्तर
Power supplied by an electric heater (VI) = 1250 W
θ1 = Initial temperature = 5°C
m = Mass of water = 20 kg
θ2 = Final temperature = 65°C
c = specific heat capacity by heater = Heat gained by water ...(Law of calorimeter)
VIt = mc (θ2 - θ1) .....(Q = VI t)
1250 t = 20 × 4200 × 60 ....[(65°C - 5°C = 60°C)]
1250 t = 5040000
t = 40325 seconds

Two metallic blocks P and Q of masses in ratio 2: 1 are given the same amount of heat. If their temperature rise by the same amount, compare their specific heat capacities.
Indian style of cooling drinking water is to keep it in a pitcher having porous walls. Water comes to the outer surface very slowly and evaporates. Most of energy needed for evaporation is taken from the water itself and the water is cooled down. Assume that a pitcher contains 10 kg of water and 0.2 g of water comes out per second. Assuming no backward heat transfer from the atmosphere to the water, calculate the time in which the temperature decrease by 5°C. Specific heat capacity of water = 4200 J kg−1 °C−1 and latent heat of vaporization of water = 2.27 × 106 J kg−1.
