A liquid having mass m=250 g is kept warm in a vessel by using an electric heater. The liquid is maintained at 50∘C when the power supplied by the heater is 30 W and the surrounding temperature is 20∘C. As the heater is switched off, the liquid starts cooling and it was observed that it takes 10 sec for temperature to fall from 40∘C to 39.9∘C. Calculate the specific heat capacity of the liquid. Assume Newton's law of cooling to be applicable.
