Gulliver salvages several of the king's hairs from his shaving cream and makes himself a comb. He then makes the seat of a chair from the queen's hair but refuses to sit on it because doing so would be insulting to her.
Heat capacity. (Science: chemistry) The amount of energy required to raise the temperature of an object by one degree Celsius (or Kelvin), it is represented by the symbol c and is given in units of J/K.

In such cases, the specific heat capacity is a fraction of the maximum. As the temperature approaches absolute zero, the specific heat capacity of a system approaches zero, due to loss of available degrees of freedom.ne (rare) unit of heat is the pound calorie (lb-cal), defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Celsius. On this scale the specific heat of water would be 1 lb-cal/(Kâlb).
