In an experiment to determine the specific heat capacity of a solid, following observations were made :

Mass of calorimeter + stirrer =x kg
Mass of water=y kg
Initial temperature of water =t1C
Mass of solid =z kg
Temperature of solid =t2C
Temperature of mixture =t°C

Specific heat capacity of calorimeter and water are c1 and c2 respectively. Express the specific heat capacity c of the solid in terms of the above data.
