The temperature of a hot liquid in a container of negligible heat capacity falls at the rate of 3 K/min due to heat emission to the surroundings, just before it begins to solidify. The temperature then remains constant for 30 min, by the time the liquid has all solidified. Find the ratio of specific heat capacity of liquid to specific latent heat of fusion.
