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 75oC. T is given by: (Given : room temperature = 30oC, specific heat of copper = 0.1 cal/gmoC)
- A825oC
- B800oC
- C885oC
