To find the ratio of thermal capacities for unit volume of two bodies given the ratios of their densities and specific heats, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the concept of thermal capacity per unit volume Thermal capacity (C) is defined as the product of mass (m) and specific heat capacity (S). For unit volume, we can express thermal capacity per unit volume (C_v) as: \[ C_v = \frac{C}{V} = \frac{m \cdot S}{V} \] Where V is the volume. Since mass (m) can be expressed in terms of density (D) and volume (V) as \( m = D \cdot V \), we can rewrite: \[ C_v = D \cdot S \] Thus, the thermal capacity per unit volume is directly proportional to the density and specific heat capacity. ...
