$A$ gun fires a lead bullet of temperature $300 \ K$ into a wooden block. The bullet having a melting temperature of $600 \ K$ penetrates into the block and melts down. If the total heat required for the process is $625 \ J$,then the mass of the bullet is . . . . . . grams. (Latent heat of fusion of lead $= 2.5 \times 10^4 \ J \ kg^{-1}$ and specific heat capacity of lead $= 125 \ J \ kg^{-1} K^{-1}$)

View Solution

$M \ kg$ of water at $t^{\circ} C$ is divided into two parts so that one part of mass $m \ kg$ when converted into ice at $0^{\circ} C$ would release enough heat to vaporize the other part. Then $\frac{m}{M}$ is equal to (Specific heat of water $= 1 \ cal \ g^{-1} {}^{\circ} C^{-1}$,Latent heat of fusion of ice $= 80 \ cal \ g^{-1}$,Latent heat of steam $= 540 \ cal \ g^{-1}$)
