When 20xx10^(-3) kg of water at 15^(@)C ...

When `20xx10^(-3)` kg of water at `15^(@)C` is placed in the tube of an ice calorimeer, it si found that the mercury thread mvoes through `29cm`. If a metal of mass `12g` and `100^(@)C` is placed in the tube, the mercury thread contracts by `12cm`. Find the specific heat capacity of metal. (Specific heat capacity of water `=4200J kg^(-1)K^(-1)`)

Text Solution
