Specific Heat -

C=\frac{Q}{m.\Delta \theta}

- wherein

C = specific heat

\Delta \theta=Change in temperature 

m = Amount of mass

 

s_{m}=400 9kg^{-1}k^{-1}

s_{w}=4200 9kg^{-1}k^{-1}

apply heat lost = heat gain

0.1\times 400\times (500-T)=0.5\times 4200\times (T-30)+800(T-30)

\Rightarrow 40(500-T)=(T-30)[800+2100]

20\times 1000-40T=2900T-(2900\times 30)

\Rightarrow T=36.4

So, \frac{\Delta T}{T}\times 100=\frac{6.4}{30}\times 100

\approx 20%%
