In a waterfall,the water falls from a height of $100 \ m$. If the entire kinetic energy $(K.E.)$ of the water is converted into heat,the rise in temperature of the water will be ........ $^\circ C$.

Steam at $100^{\circ} C$ is passed into $1 \, kg$ of water contained in a calorimeter at $9^{\circ} C$ until the temperature of the water and calorimeter increases to $90^{\circ} C$. The mass of the steam condensed is nearly (water equivalent of calorimeter $= 0.1 \, kg$, specific heat of water $= 1 \, cal \cdot g^{-1} \cdot {}^{\circ} C^{-1}$, and latent heat of vaporisation $= 540 \, cal \cdot g^{-1}$).

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).

$19 \ g$ of water at $30^{\circ} C$ and $5 \ g$ of ice at $-20^{\circ} C$ are mixed together in a calorimeter. What is the final temperature of the mixture (in $^{\circ} C$)? Given specific heat of ice $= 0.5 \ cal \ g^{-1} (^{\circ} C)^{-1}$ and latent heat of fusion of ice $= 80 \ cal \ g^{-1}$.
