Question

The masses of the two weights are both equal to .5 kg. (neglect any inertia of the rest of the apparatus.) The masses fall 8 meters. Assume the mass of the water is 0.1 kg, and the water absorbs 85% of the heat. Calculate the rise in temperature of the water in degrees Celsius. Show all equations and show all work typed show final answer in deg C

Potential energy of
falling weights
becomes kinetic
energy of paddle.
The paddle's kinetic energy in turn
becomes internal energy of the water
indicated by rising temperature
FIGURE 13.1 Joule's apparatus for measuring

In a study of healthy young men[1], doing 20 push-ups in 1 minute burned an amount of energy per kg that for a 70.0-kg man corresponds to 8.06 calories (kcal). How much would a 70.0-kg man's temperature rise if he did not lose any heat during that time?
James Joule (after whom the unit of energy is named) claimed that the water at the bottom of Niagara Falls should be warmer than the water at the top, 51 m above the bottom. He reasoned that the falling water would transform its gravitational potential energy at the top into thermal energy at the bottom,where turbulence brings the water almost to a halt. If this transformationis the only process occurring, how much warmer will the water at the bottom be?
