    A body of specific heat \[0.2\text{ }kcal\text{/}kg{}^\circ C\text{ }\]is heated through\[100{}^\circ C\]. The percentage increase in its mass is :

    A)  9%                                        

    B)  \[9.3\times {{10}^{-11}}%\]       

    C)         10%                      

    D)         none of these

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Heat taken by the given body \[=mc\,\Delta \,\theta \] {specific heat of body \[=0.2\,kcal\text{/}kg{}^\circ C,\] final temperature of the body\[=100{}^\circ C\]} \[\Delta E=m\times 0.2\times 100\]       \[=20\,m\,kcal\]       \[=20\,m\times 4.2\times {{10}^{3}}J\] Now gain in mass is given by \[\Delta m=\frac{\Delta E}{{{c}^{2}}}\]   (\[\because E=m{{c}^{2}}\]) \[=\frac{20\,m\,\times 4.2\,\times {{10}^{3}}}{{{(3\times {{10}^{8}})}^{2}}}\] Therefore, percentage increase in mass is given by \[=\frac{\Delta m}{m}\times 100\] \[=\frac{20\,m\times 4.2\times {{10}^{3}}}{{{(3\times {{10}^{8}})}^{2}}\times m}\times 100\] \[=9.3\times {{10}^{-11}}%\]
