उत्तर
Specific heat capacity of a body can be defined as the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of the unit mass of that body by 1°C (or 1 K).
It is given as:
s = `(Delta Q)/(DeltaT xx m)`
where,
ΔQ = Amount of heat energy supplied
ΔT = Rise in temperature
m = Mass of the body

We would like to make a vessel whose volume does not change with temperature (take a hint from the problem above). We can use brass and iron `(β_(vbrass) = (6 xx 10^(–5))/K and β_(viron) = (3.55 xx 10^(–5))/K)` to create a volume of 100 cc. How do you think you can achieve this.
