Question

1. Suppose the cylinder had a mass of 20 kg and started at a height of 2,000 m. If the initial temperature of the water was 25 °C, what would be the final temperature? Explain.

Answer 1

Answer

Relationship between energy at height and tempErature is given by

$T_f=\frac{mgh}{R}\\=\frac{20\times9.8\times2000}{8.314}\\=47154K$
