Three bodies of masses $m_1, m_2, m_3$ are mixed together. Their specific heats are $c_1, c_2, c_3$ and their temperatures are $T_1, T_2, T_3$ respectively. What is the temperature of the mixture?

  • A
    $\frac{c_1 T_1 + c_2 T_2 + c_3 T_3}{m_1 c_1 + m_2 c_2 + m_3 c_3}$
  • B
    $\frac{m_1 c_1 T_1 + m_2 c_2 T_2 + m_3 c_3 T_3}{m_1 c_1 + m_2 c_2 + m_3 c_3}$
  • C
    $\frac{m_1 c_1 T_1 + m_2 c_2 T_2 + m_3 c_3 T_3}{m_1 T_1 + m_2 T_2 + m_3 T_3}$
  • D
    $\frac{m_1 T_1 + m_2 T_2 + m_3 T_3}{c_1 T_1 + c_2 T_2 + c_3 T_3}$

Three copper blocks of masses $M_1, M_2$ and $M_3$ $kg$ respectively are brought into thermal contact until they reach equilibrium. Before contact,they were at temperatures $T_1, T_2, T_3$ $(T_1 > T_3)$. Assuming there is no heat loss to the surroundings,the equilibrium temperature $T$ is ($s$ is the specific heat of copper).

$A$ coffee maker makes coffee by passing steam through a mixture of coffee powder,milk,and water. If the steam is mixed at the rate of $50 \, g/min$ in a mug containing $500 \, g$ of mixture,then it takes about $t_0$ seconds to make coffee at $70^{\circ} C$ when the initial temperature of the mixture is $25^{\circ} C$. The value of $t_0$ is close to .......... $s$ (ratio of latent heat of evaporation to specific heat of water is $540^{\circ} C$ and specific heat of the mixture can be taken to be the same as that of water).
