Problem

A copper ball of mass 100 gm is at a temperature T. It is dropped in a copper calorimeter of mass 100 gm, filled with 170 gm of water at room temperature. Subsequently, the temperature of the system is found to be 75∘C75^{\circ}\text{C}. T is given by (Given : room temperature = 30∘C30^{\circ}\text{C}, specific heat of copper = 0.1 cal/gm∘C0.1 \text{ cal/gm}^{\circ}\text{C}) (1) 1250∘C1250^{\circ}\text{C} (2) 825∘C825^{\circ}\text{C} (3) 800∘C800^{\circ}\text{C} (4) 885∘C885^{\circ}\text{C}
