A metal bal of mass \(0.1\, kg\) is heated upto \(500\,{}^oC\) and dropped into a vessel of heat capacity \(800\, JK^{-1}\) and containing \(0.5\, kg\) water. The initial temperature of water and vessel is \(30\,{}^oC\). ........ \(\%\) is the approximate percentage increment in the temperature of the water. [Specific heat Capacities of water and metal are, respectively \(4200\, Jkg^{-1}K^{-1}\) and \(400\, Jkg^{-1}K^{-1}\)]

  1. A \(15\)
  2. B \(30\)
  3. C \(25\)
  4. D \(20\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(20\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(0.1 \times 400 \times \left( {500 - T} \right)\) \( = 0.5 \times 4200 \times \left( {T - 30} \right) + 800\left( {T - 30} \right)\) \( \Rightarrow 40\left( {500 - T} \right) = \left( {T - 30} \right)\left( {2100 + 800} \right)\)…
