Explanation / Answer

According to the concept of the thermal properties of the matter

M1s1(T1-T3)=M2s2(T3-T2)

But M1=M2

Given that

Temperature of the glass T1=77.6 c

Temperature of the liquid T2=43 c

Equivalent temperature T3=52.4 c

Specific heat of the glass s1=840 j/kg.c

Now we find the specific heat of the liquid

S1*(T1-T3)=s2*(T3-T2)

840*(77.6-52.4)=s2(52.4-43)

21168=9.4s2

S2=2251.9 j/kg.c
