To save on heating costs, the owner of a green
house keeps 530 kg of water around in barrels.
During a winter day, the water is heated by the sun
to 10.2 °C. During the night the water freezes into
ice at 0.0 °C in nine hours. What is the minimum
ampere rating of an electric heating system (240
V) that would provide the same heating effect as
the water does? Take the specific heat capacity of
water to be 4186 J/(kg-C°), and the latent heat of
fusion of water to be 3.35 x 105 J/kg.
