Two pieces of metal with exactly the same mass are placed on a surface in bright sunlight. the temperature of the 1st block increases by 3°c while the temperature of the 2nd increases by 8°c. if the specific heat of the 2nd block is 0.24 j/g-k, what is the specific heat of the 1st block?

As part of your daily workout, you lie on your back and push with your feet against a platform attached to two stiff springs arranged side by side so that they are parallel to each other. when you push the platform, you compress the springs. you do an amount of work of 79.0 j when you compress the springs a distance of 0.230 m from their uncompressed length. (a) what magnitude of force must you apply to hold the platform in this position? (b)how much additional work must you do to move the platform a distance 0.230 m farther? (c) what maximum force must you apply to move the platform a distance 0.230 m farther?
