A physics student uses a 115.00-V immersion heater to heat 400.00 grams (almost two cups) of water for herbal tea. During the two minutes it takes the water to heat, the physics student becomes bored and decides to figure our the resistance of the heater. The student starts with the assumption that the water is initially at the temperature of the room Ti=25.00C and reaches Tf=100.00C . The specific heat of the water is c=4180JkgK What is the resistance of the heater?
