$A$ child running a temperature of $101\,^{\circ} F$ is given an antipyrin (i.e. a medicine that lowers fever) which causes an increase in the rate of evaporation of sweat from his body. If the fever is brought down to $98\,^{\circ} F$ in $20$ minutes,what is the average rate of extra evaporation caused by the drug (in $g/min$)? Assume the evaporation mechanism to be the only way by which heat is lost. The mass of the child is $30\; kg$. The specific heat of the human body is approximately the same as that of water,and the latent heat of evaporation of water at that temperature is about $580\; cal \;g^{-1}$.

$A$ steel pendulum clock manufactured at $32^{\circ} C$ and working at $47^{\circ} C$ is nearly (Coefficient of linear expansion of steel $= 12 \times 10^{-6} /{ }^{\circ} C$)

Two identical balls,$A$ and $B$,of uniform composition and initially at the same temperature,each absorb exactly the same amount of heat. $A$ is hanging from the ceiling while $B$ rests on the horizontal floor in the same room. Assuming no subsequent heat loss by the balls,which of the following statements is correct about their final temperatures,$T_A$ and $T_B$,once the balls have reached their final state?

The height of a waterfall is $84 \, m$. Assuming that the entire kinetic energy of falling water is converted into heat, the rise in temperature of the water will be $(g = 9.8 \, m/s^2, J = 4.2 \, J/cal, c = 1 \, cal/g^\circ C = 4200 \, J/kg^\circ C)$. (in $^\circ C$)

$A$ lead ball moving with a velocity $V$ strikes a wall and stops. If $50\%$ of its energy is converted into heat,then what will be the increase in temperature? (Specific heat of lead is $S$)
