1 Answer


gIVEN, 

FOR WATER, 

MASS (m1) = 300 GM = 0.3 KG 

RISE IN TEMPERATUREdt1 = 10 °C

specific heat capacity of water s1 = 4200 J/kg°C

Now, heat supplied 

Q =  m1* s1* dt1 

= 12600 J 

fOR OIL 

mas m2 = 150 gm = 0.15 kg 

rise in temp (dt2) = 40 °C

heat supplied Q = 12600 J 

specific heat of oil s2 = ??

again, 

Q = m2 *s2 * dt2 

S2 = 12600 / ( 0.15 * 40 ) 

S2 = 2100 j/ KG°C
