Solid of mass 500g is heated in a beaker of water to a temperature of 95°C. The solid was then transferred quickly into a copper calorimeter of mass 600g containing water of mass 400g at a temperature of 30°C. The steady temperature of the mixture is 40°C. Evaluate the specific heat capacity of the solid [specific heat capacity of water= 4200 Jkg01 K-\ specific heat capacity of copper= 385 JkgK-1]
