c. A group of physics students performed an experiment about specific heat of liquids. A liquid of unknown specific heat at a temperature of 20°C was mixed with water at 80°C in a well-insulated container. The final temperature was measured to be 50°C and the combined mass of the two liquids was measured to be 240 g. In a second trial with both liquids at the same initial temperature, 20 g less of the liquid of unknown specific heat was poured into the same amount of water as before. This time the equilibrium temperature was found to be 52°C. What is the value of the specific heat of the liquid does the group determined?

P3. After a particularly cold night, Alice leaves a tub of water outside. You may consider the ground and air to have temperatures of T. = -10°C and T = 10°C respectively. How thick is the layer of ice that forms at the bottom of the tub of water, after the tub has been left outside for a long time? The tub of water initially has a layer of water of thickness họ = 10 cm. You may assume that the ground and air remain at a constant temperature throughout, and that the side lengths of the tub a, b > ho, i.e. the heat conduction is one- dimensional. Density of ice and water are Pice = 920 kg/m³ and Pw = 1000 kg/m³. Ice and water have thermal conductivities of kice = 2.22 WK-1m-1 and kiw = 0.556 W K-1m-1.

At 1:00 PM, Sally puts into a refrigerator a can of beer that has been sitting in a room temperature 70°F. The temperature in the refrigerator is 40°F. Fifteen minutes later the temperature of the beer has fallen to 60°F. At some later time, Sally removes the beer from the refrigerator to the room, where at 2:00 PM the temperature of the beer is 60°F. At what time did Sally remove the beer from the refrigerator?
