An ice cube of mass 0.1 kg at 0^@C is placed in an isolated container which is at 227^@C . The specific heat s of the container varies with temperature T according to the empirical relation s=A+BT , where A= 100 cal//kgK and B = 2xx (10^-2) cal//kg . If the final temperature of the container is 27^@C , determine the mass of the container. (Latent heat of fusion for water = 8xx (10^4) cal//kg , specific heat of water =10^3 cal//kg-K ).
