Problem 29P
Consider the apparatus that Joule used in his experiments on the mechanical equivalent of heat, shown in Figure 16-8. Suppose both blocks have a mass of 0.95 kg and that they fall through a distance of 0.48 m. (a) Find the expected rise in temperature of the water, given that 6200 J are needed for every 1.0 C° increase. Give your answer in Celsius degrees, (b) Would the temperature rise in Fahrenheit degrees be greater than or less than the result in part (a)? Explain, (c) Find the rise in temperature in Fahrenheit degrees.
