An ice cube of mass 0.1kg at `0^@C` is placed in an isolated container which is at `227^@C`.  The specific heat S of the container varies with temperature T according to the empirical relation `S=A+BT`, where `A=100 cal//kg-K and B=2xx10^-2cal//kg-K^2`. If the final temperature of the container is `27^@C`, determine the mass of the container. (Latent heat of fusion of water =`8xx10^4cal//kg`, Specific heat of water=`10^3cal//kg-K`).
