1. The lower and upper fixed points of a mercury-in-glass thermometer are marked X and 180mm respectively. On a particular day, the mercury meniscus in the thermometer rises to 60mm. If the corresponding reading on a Celsius scale is 20°C, what is the value of X?

2. A resistance thermometer has a resistance of 20 ohm at 0°C and 85 ohm at 100°C. If its resistance is 52 ohm in a medium, calculate the corresponding temperature.

3. A tap supplies water at 26°C while another supplies water at 82°C. If a man wishes to bath with water at 40°C, what is the ratio of the mass of hot water to that of cold water.

4. A metal of mass 1.55kg was heated from 300K to 320K in 6 minutes by a boiling ring of 85 W rating, calculate the specific heat capacity of the metal. {Neglect heat losses to the surrounding.}

5. (i) What is meant by the statement, _the specific heat capacity of copper is 400 J/KgK? (ii) Distinguish between specific heat capacity and thermal capacity deriving the mathematical relationship between.
