A solid substance of mass 10 g at `-10^(@)C` was heated to `-2^(@)C` (still in the solid state). The heat required was 64 calories. Another 880 calories was required to raise the temperature of the substance (now in the liquid state) to `1^(@)C`, while 900 calories was required to raise the temperature from `-2^(@)C` to `3^(@)C`. Calculate the specific heat capacities of the substance in the solid and liquid state in calories per kilogram per kelvin.
