AI Generated Solution

To find the approximate value of the specific heat capacity of water in SI units, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Definition of Specific Heat Capacity Specific heat capacity (C) is defined as the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of a substance by 1 degree Celsius (or 1 Kelvin). ### Step 2: Write the Formula for Specific Heat Capacity The formula for specific heat capacity is given by: \[ C = \frac{Q}{m \Delta T} \] ...

Figure shown two adiabatic vessels, each containing a mass m of water at different temperature. The ends of a metal rod of length L, area of cross section A and thermal conductivity K, are inserted in the water as shown in the figure. Find the time taken for the difference between the temperature in the vessels to become half of the original value. The specific heat capacity of water is s. Neglect the heat capacity of the rod and the container and any loss of heat to the atmosphere.
