Answer:
Object should be placed at a distance, u = 7.8 cm
Given:
focal length of convex lens, F = 16.5 cm
magnification, m = 1.90
Solution:
Magnification of lens, m = -
where
u = object distance
v = image distance
Now,
1.90 =
v = - 1.90u
To calculate the object distance, u by lens maker formula given by:
u = 7.8 cm
Object should be placed at a distance of 7.8 cm on the axis of the lens to get virtual and enlarged image.
When an object absorbs an amount of energy equal to Q, its temperature raises by 
following the formula
where m is the mass of the object and
is the specific heat capacity of the material.
In our problem, we have
, 
and 
, so we can re-arrange the formula and substitute the numbers to find the specific heat capacity of the metal:
where m is the mass of the object and
In our problem, we have
