In Newton's experiment of cooling, the water equivalent of two similar calorimeters is 10 gm each. They are filled with 350 gm of water and 300 gm of a liquid (equal volumes) separately. The time taken by water and liquid to cool from 
to 
is 3 min and 95 sec respectively. The specific heat of the liquid will be
