The temperature of a hot liquid in a con...

The temperature of a hot liquid in a container of negligible heat capacity falls at the rate of `3K//min` due to heat emission to the surroundings, just before it begins to solidify. The temperature then remains constant for `30min`, by the time the liquid has all solidfied. Find the ratio of specific heat capacity of liquid to specific latent heat of fusion.
