The heat capacity of an object is the "Heat Capacity" = M * Cp M = Mass Cp = Specific Heat (at constant pressure)
M = Vol * SG SG = Specific Gravity ( = density/density of water) So, Heat Capacity = Vol * SG * Cp If you want to know how much heat is required to change tempo: Heat = Vol * SG * Cp * (delta T) - all in same unit system of course. -John =================== > List, > > Please help me with this physics question. > > If one has a given cube, say 2 x 2 x 2 inches.
