A platinum resistance thermometer records 3.0\(\Omega\) at 0oC and 8.0\(\Omega\) at 100oC. If it records 6.0\(\Omega\) in a certain environment, The temperature of the medium is
A 500W heater is used to heat 0.6kg of water from 25oC to 100oC in t2 seconds. If another 1000W heater is used to heat 0.2kg of water from 10oC to 100oC in t, seconds, find \(\frac {t_1}{t_2}\)
How many grams of water at 17oC must be added to 42g of ice at 0oC to melt the ice completely? [specific latent heat of fusion of ice = 3.4 x 105Jkg-1, specific heat capacity of water = 4200Jkg-1k-1]
