$A$ $10 \ W$ electric heater is used to heat a container filled with $0.5 \ kg$ of water. It is found that the temperature of the water and the container rises by $3 \ K$ in $15 \ min$. The container is then emptied, dried, and filled with $2 \ kg$ of oil. The same heater now raises the temperature of the container-oil system by $2 \ K$ in $20 \ min$. Assuming that there is no heat loss in the process and the specific heat of water is $4200 \ J \ kg^{-1} \ K^{-1}$, the specific heat of oil in the same unit is equal to:

$37 \ g$ of ice at $0^{\circ} C$ is mixed with $74 \ g$ of water at $70^{\circ} C$. What is the resultant temperature (in $^{\circ} C$)? (Specific heat capacity of water $= 1 \ cal \ g^{-1} {}^{\circ} C^{-1}$ and latent heat of fusion of ice $= 80 \ cal \ g^{-1}$)

$50 \, g$ of ice at $0^\circ C$ is placed in an insulated vessel. $50 \, g$ of water at $100^\circ C$ is mixed into it. Neglecting heat loss,what is the final temperature of the mixture?

One kilogram of ice at $0\,^{\circ}C$ is mixed with one kilogram of water at $80\,^{\circ}C$. The temperature of the mixture is ........ $^{\circ}C$ (specific heat of water $= 4200\,J\,kg^{-1}\,K^{-1}$ and latent heat of ice $= 336\,kJ\,kg^{-1}$).
