One quality of a thermometer is that its heat capacity should be small. If $P$ is a mercury thermometer,$Q$ is a resistance thermometer,and $R$ is a thermocouple type,then:

The amount of heat needed to heat $200 \ g$ of ice at $-10^{\circ}C$ to convert it into water at $30^{\circ}C$ is:
Specific heat capacity of ice $= 2100 \ J \ kg^{-1} \ K^{-1}$
Specific heat capacity of water $= 4186 \ J \ kg^{-1} \ K^{-1}$
Latent heat of fusion of ice $= 3.35 \times 10^5 \ J \ kg^{-1}$ (in $J$)

If $60 \%$ of the kinetic energy of water falling from a $210 \ m$ high waterfall is converted into heat,the rise in temperature of the water at the bottom of the fall is nearly (specific heat of water $= 4.2 \times 10^3 \ J \ kg^{-1} \ K^{-1}$ and $g = 10 \ m/s^2$):

$A$ mass $m$ of material exists in its solid state at its melting temperature $0^\circ C$. The following processes occur to the material:
Process-$1$: An amount of thermal energy $Q$ is added to the material, and $\frac{2}{3}$ of the material melts.
Process-$2$: An identical additional amount of thermal energy $Q$ is added to the material, and the material is now a liquid at $40^\circ C$.
What is the ratio of the latent heat of fusion $(L)$ to the specific heat of the liquid $(s)$ for this material?

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 resistances of the platinum wire of a platinum resistance thermometer at the ice point and steam point are $8 \Omega$ and $10 \Omega$ respectively. After inserting in a hot bath of temperature $400^{\circ} C$,the resistance of the platinum wire is: (in $\Omega$)
