10-1.Thermometry, Thermal Expansion and Calorimetry
normal
Two substances $A$ and $B$ of equal mass $m$ are heated at uniform rate of $6\,cal\,s^{-1}$ under similar conditions. A graph between temperature and time is shown in figure. Ratio of heat absorbed $H_A/H_B$ by them for complete fusion is

A
$9/4$
B
$4/9$
C
$8/5$
D
$5/8$
Solution
$\left(\frac{\mathrm{dQ}}{\mathrm{dt}}\right)_{\mathrm{A}}=\left(\frac{\mathrm{dQ}}{\mathrm{dt}}\right)_{\mathrm{B}}$
$\frac{\mathrm{H}_{\mathrm{A}}}{6-2}=\frac{\mathrm{H}_{\mathrm{B}}}{6.5-4}, \frac{\mathrm{H}_{\mathrm{A}}}{\mathrm{H}_{\mathrm{B}}}=\frac{4}{2.5}=\frac{8}{5}$
