KVPY2014PhysicsMechanical Properties of Solids
An aluminum piece of mass 50 ~g initially at 300 ^ C is dipped quickly and taken out of 1 ~kg of water, initially at 30 ^ C . If the teperature of the aluminum piece be 160^ C , what is the temperature of the water then (Specific heat capacities of aluminum and water are 900 JKf ⁻¹ ~K ⁻¹ and 4200 Jkg ⁻¹ ~K ⁻¹ , respectively)
Options
- A165^ C
- B45^ C
- C31.5^ C
- D28.5^ C
Correct answer
C. 31.5^ C
Step-by-step solution
Heat lost = heat gas 0.05 900 (300-160)=1 4200 (T-30)T=31.5^
