In an experiment on the specific heat of a metal, a \(0.20~\text{kg}\) block of the metal at \(150^{\circ}\text{C}\) is dropped in a copper calorimeter (of water equivalent of \(0.025~\text{kg}\)) containing \(150~\text{cm}^{3}\) of water at \(27^{\circ}\text{C}.\) The final temperature is \(40^{\circ}\text{C}.\) The specific heat of the metal will be: 
(the heat losses to the surroundings are negligible)
1. \(0 . 40  ~ \text{Jg}^{- 1} \text{K}^{- 1}\)
2. \(0 . 43  ~ \text{Jg}^{- 1} \text{K}^{- 1}\)

A brass wire \(1.8~\text m\) long at \(27^\circ \text C\) is held taut with a little tension between two rigid supports. If the wire is cooled to a temperature of \(-39^\circ \text C,\) what is the tension created in the wire?
(Assume diameter of the wire to be \(2.0~\text{mm}\), coefficient of linear expansion of brass \(=2.0 \times10^{-5}~\text{K}^{-1},\) Young's modulus of brass\(=0.91 \times10^{11}~\text{Pa}\) )

Two absolute scales \(A \) and \(B,\) have triple points of water defined to be \(200 A\) and \(350 B.\) The relationship between \(T_A \) and \(T_B\) is:
1. \(T_A = \dfrac{5}{7}T_B\) 2. \(T_A = \dfrac{4}{7}T_B\)
3. \(T_A = \dfrac{6}{7}T_B\) 4. \(T_A = T_B\)

\(5 ~\text g\) of water at \(30^{\circ} \text{C}\) and \(5 ~\text g\) of ice at \(-20^{\circ} \text{C}\) are mixed together in a calorimeter. The water equivalent of the calorimeter is negligible, and the specific heat and latent heat of ice are \(0.5~\text{cal/g}^{\circ} \text{C}\) and \(80~\text{cal/g},\) respectively. The final temperature of the mixture is:

1. \(0^{\circ} \text{C}\) 2. \(-8^{\circ} \text{C}\)
3. \(-4^{\circ} \text{C}\) 4. \(2^{\circ} \text{C}\)

Two conducting slabs of heat conductivity \(K_{1} ~\text{and}~K_{2}\) are joined as shown in figure. If the temperature at the ends of the slabs are \(\theta_{1}~\text{and}~\theta_{2} \ (\theta_{1}   >   \theta_{2} ),  \) then the final temperature \( \left(\theta\right)_{m} \) of the junction will be:
