Answer to Problem 8P
The specific heat may be defined as either the material having this amount of specific heat is not listed in the table or it may be an unknown alloy.
Explanation of Solution
The specific heat may be defined as the heat capacity per unit mass. It is the amount of heat per unit mass required to raise the temperature by
The value of specific heat obtained in part (b) does not correspond to any material given in table 19.1. So, either the material is not listed in the table or it may be an unknown alloy.
Conclusion:
