The device shown below contains 2 kg of water. The cylinder is allowed to fall 800 m during which the temperature of the water increases by 2.4°C. Some amount of water is added to the container and the experiment is repeated. All other values remain constant. This time the temperature of the water increases by 1.2°C. How much water was added to the container?

m_added = 2 kg

Explanation:

From the question, we are told that the cylinder is allowed to fall 800 m in height. Thus, the potential energy will be converted into heat energy which will increase the temperature of water .

Now, let the mass of the falling cylinder be denoted by "m1" and let h be the height of fall.

Thus;

Formula for potential energy = mgh

Thus, as said earlier it's converted to heat generated. So heat generated = m1gh

Now let's calculate the heat absorbed;

heat absorbed = (m2)cΔt

Where;

ΔT is change in temperature

c is specific heat of water .

m2 is mass of water

Heat absorbed = heat generated

Thus;

(m2)cΔt = m1gh

Δt = m1gh/(m2•c)

Now, in both cases of the water and cylinder, m1, g , h and c are constant

Thus, we have;

Δt = (m1gh/m2) × 1/c

Where;

(m1gh/m2) is denoted as a constant k.

Thus;

Δt = K/m

For the first experiment, we have;

m = 2 kg

Δt = 2.4

Thus;

2.4 = K/2

Multiply both sides by 2 to get;

K = 4.8

For the second experiment, we have;

Δt = 1.2

Also,we have seen that K = 4.8

Thus;

Δt = K/m

Thus;

1.2 = 4.8/m

m = 1.2

m = 4 kg

Thus,mass added is;

m_added = 4 - 2

m_added = 2 kg

the warning light flashes for a second or two when the engine starts. if it stays on, there's must be something wrong with the coolant. you should never dare to continue driving when the light is on. pull over as soon as possible and shut the engine off.

hope this is what you're talking about
