104g of water at 30°C is taken in a calorimeter made of copper of mass 42 g. When a certain mass of ice at 0°C is added to it, the final steady temperature of the mixture after the ice has melted, was found to be 10°C. Find the mass of ice added. [Specific heat capacity of water = 4.2 Jg^–1°C^–1 ; Specific latent heat of fusion of ice = 336 J^g–1; Specific heat capacity of copper = 0.4 Jg^–1°C^–1] .
