$A$ mass of $50\,g$ of water in a closed vessel,with surroundings at a constant temperature,takes $2\,minutes$ to cool from $30\,^oC$ to $25\,^oC$. $A$ mass of $100\,g$ of another liquid in an identical vessel with identical surroundings takes the same time to cool from $30\,^oC$ to $25\,^oC$. The specific heat of the liquid is .......... $kcal/(kg \cdot ^oC)$ (The water equivalent of the vessel is $30\,g$).

$A$ container contains hot water at $100^{\circ}C$. If in time $T_1$ the temperature falls to $80^{\circ}C$ and in time $T_2$ the temperature falls to $60^{\circ}C$ from $80^{\circ}C$,then:

$A$ liquid of mass $250 g$ is kept warm in a vessel using an electric heater. The liquid is maintained at $57^{\circ} C$ when the power supplied by the heater is $30 W$ and the surrounding temperature is $27^{\circ} C$. As the heater is switched off,it takes $10 s$ for the temperature of the liquid to fall from $47^{\circ} C$ to $46.9^{\circ} C$. The specific heat capacity of the liquid is:
