Let the final temperature be' t '
Temp. difference of water (Dt)=(t20)C
spec.heat capacity of water (cw)=4190 JkgK
Mass of water (mw)=0.170 kg
Mass of Copper (mc)=0.5 kg
Temp. difference of Copper (Dt)=(t20)C
spec.heat capacity of Copper (cc)=387 JkgK
Mass of block (mi)=0.25 kg
Initial temp. of block (Tli=85 C)
spec.heat capacity of block (Ci)=448 JkgK
Temp. difference of ice (Dt)i=(85t)C
Apply;
Principle of claorimetry
(Ccmc+Cwmw)(Dt)=Cimi(Dt)i
Dt(Dt)i=CimiCcmc+Cwmw
=0.1236
t=27.154 C
