$A$ glass flask of volume $200 \, cm^3$ is just filled with mercury at $20^{\circ} C$. The amount of mercury that will overflow when the temperature of the system is raised to $100^{\circ} C$ is ........ $cm^3$ $(\gamma_{\text{glass}} = 1.2 \times 10^{-5} /^{\circ}C, \gamma_{\text{mercury}} = 1.8 \times 10^{-4} /^{\circ}C)$

The amount of heat needed to heat $200 \ g$ of ice at $-10^{\circ}C$ to convert it into water at $30^{\circ}C$ is:
Specific heat capacity of ice $= 2100 \ J \ kg^{-1} \ K^{-1}$
Specific heat capacity of water $= 4186 \ J \ kg^{-1} \ K^{-1}$
Latent heat of fusion of ice $= 3.35 \times 10^5 \ J \ kg^{-1}$ (in $J$)

$A$ refrigerator converts $500\,g$ of water at $25\,^{\circ}C$ into ice at $-10\,^{\circ}C$ in $3\,hours\,40\,minutes$. The quantity of heat removed per minute is ........ $cal/\min$.
(Specific heat of water $= 1\,cal/g\,^{\circ}C$,Specific heat of ice $= 0.5\,cal/g\,^{\circ}C$,Latent heat of fusion $= 80\,cal/g$)

$A$ $20 \,g$ bullet whose specific heat is $5000 \,J/(kg \cdot ^{\circ}C)$ and moving at $2000 \,m/s$ plunges into a $1.0 \,kg$ block of wax whose specific heat is $3000 \,J/(kg \cdot ^{\circ}C)$. Both the bullet and the wax are at $25^{\circ}C$. Assuming that $(i)$ the bullet comes to rest in the wax and $(ii)$ all its kinetic energy is converted into heat,the final temperature of the wax (in $^{\circ}C$) is close to:

One quality of a thermometer is that its heat capacity should be small. If $P$ is a mercury thermometer,$Q$ is a resistance thermometer,and $R$ is a thermocouple type,then:
