$A$ pendulum clock (fitted with a small heavy bob that is connected with a metal rod) is $5 \ s$ fast each day at a temperature of $15 \ ^oC$ and $10 \ s$ slow at a temperature of $30 \ ^oC$. The temperature at which it is designed to give correct time is ........ $^oC$.

$A$ steel pendulum clock manufactured at $32^{\circ} C$ and working at $47^{\circ} C$ is nearly (Coefficient of linear expansion of steel $= 12 \times 10^{-6} /{ }^{\circ} C$)

$A$ $10.0 \,W$ electrical 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 rose by $3 \,K$ in $15 \,min$. The container is then emptied,dried,and filled with $2 \,kg$ of an oil. It is now observed that the same heater raises the temperature of the container-oil system by $2 \,K$ in $20 \,min$. Assuming no other heat losses in any of the processes,the specific heat capacity of the oil is ................ $\times 10^3 \,J K^{-1} kg^{-1}$.

$A$ beaker is filled with water at $4\,^{\circ}C$. At one time the temperature is increased by a few degrees above $4\,^{\circ}C$ and at another time it is decreased by a few degrees below $4\,^{\circ}C$. One shall observe that:

$A$ piece of ice (heat capacity = $2100 \text{ J kg}^{-1} \text{ }^\circ\text{C}^{-1}$ and latent heat = $3.36 \times 10^5 \ J kg^{-1}$) of mass $m$ grams is at $-5^oC$ at atmospheric pressure. It is given $420 \ J$ of heat so that the ice starts melting. Finally, when the ice-water mixture is in equilibrium, it is found that $1 \ gm$ of ice has melted. Assuming there is no other heat exchange in the process, the value of $m$ is ...... $gm$.
