Chapter 15, Problem 71GP
A dark blue cylindrical bottle is 22 cm high and has a diameter of 7.0 cm. It is filled with water. The bottle absorbs 60% of the light that shines on it as it lies on its side in the noonday sun, with intensity 1000 W/m2. By how much will the temperature of the water increase in 5.0 min if there’s negligible heat loss to the surrounding air?
