Equal volumes of water and alcohol when ...

Equal volumes of water and alcohol when put in similar calorimeters take `100 sec` and `74 sec` respecively to cool from `50^(@)C` to `40^(@)C`. The thermal capacity of each calorimeter in numerically equal to the volume of either liquid. The specific gravity of alcohol is `0.8` if the specific heat capacity of water is `1 cal//gm`, the specific heat capcity of alcohol will
