Solution:
- Using heat lost or gained without change in state is
, where is specific heat capacity and change in temperature
Let final temperature of ball be
Then heat lost by ball is,
This lost heat by ball is gained by water and vessel and given as
Heat gained by water,
and heat gained by vessel is
According to principle of calorimetry, total heat lost
So, percentage increment in temperature of water
