Solution

Specific heat :
Specific heat is defined as the heat required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of a substance by one degree Celsius.
The mathematical expression for specific heat is $C = \frac{Δ Q}{m Δ T}$ , where $C$ = specific heat, $Δ Q$ = loss or gain of heat, $m$ = mass, $Δ T$ = temperature difference.
The dimension of specific heat is $[M^{0} L^{2} T^{- 2} K^{- 1}]$ .
The specific heat of ice in calories is $0.5 c a l / g m C °$ .
