$10 \, kg$ of water is to be heated from $20^{\circ}C$ to $80^{\circ}C$ in $1 \, hour$. Steam at $150^{\circ}C$ is passed through a copper coil immersed in the water. The steam condenses and returns to the boiler at $90^{\circ}C$. How much steam is required per hour? (Specific heat of water $= 1 \, cal/g^{\circ}C$,Latent heat of vaporization $= 540 \, cal/g$)

  • A
    $1 \, g$
  • B
    $1 \, kg$
  • C
    $10 \, g$
  • D
    $10 \, kg$

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).
