AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to compare the specific heat capacities of two metallic blocks P and Q, given that their masses are in the ratio 2:1 and they are supplied with the same amount of heat, causing their temperatures to rise by the same degree. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Define the Masses**: Let the mass of block P be \( m_P \) and the mass of block Q be \( m_Q \). According to the problem, the ratio of their masses is given as: \[ \frac{m_P}{m_Q} = \frac{2}{1} ...
