Which liquid have low specific heat capacity

AI Thread Summary
Fluids with low specific heat capacity can be identified by using resources like MatWeb, where users can filter for specific heat values. A specific heat capacity below 0.45 J/gK indicates good heat conduction properties, similar to iron. However, it's important to note that "heat conductor" and "low specific heat capacity" are not synonymous; higher heat capacity often correlates with better thermal conduction. The discussion emphasizes the distinction between these properties and the need for clarity when discussing thermal characteristics of liquids. Understanding these concepts is crucial for applications in heat transfer and material science.

can you please state some liquid which is a good heat conductor

(which have low specific heat capacity)

On the left tree, click fluid.
On the right choose specific heat capacity, and set a number to your preference as max.
I have found 22 fluids which are below 0.45 J/gK (which is the specific heat capacity of iron).

"Heat conductor" is not the same thing as "low specific heat capacity".
Actually the thermal conduction is usually direct dependent on heat capacity (larger heat capacity=> larger thermal conduction).
 
thank you
 
Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .
TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
Thread 'A bead-mass oscillatory system problem'
I can't figure out how to find the velocity of the particle at 37 degrees. Basically the bead moves with velocity towards right let's call it v1. The particle moves with some velocity v2. In frame of the bead, the particle is performing circular motion. So v of particle wrt bead would be perpendicular to the string. But how would I find the velocity of particle in ground frame? I tried using vectors to figure it out and the angle is coming out to be extremely long. One equation is by work...
