Working out a value for H!?
Hi there!
I'm a new student to physics and I'm still learning a lot about it.
Our teacher recently gave a question and I'm not sure how to work out the answer, can anyone help me?
So here it goes:
Here's a waterfall (See pic), the water at the bottom of the waterfall is 1C hotter than the water at the top of the waterfall.
How would I work out a value for h?
Please see picture below for diagram

Any help much appreciated!
Here is my attempt at solving the problem:
E = MC (delta) theta
= (Mass of water) (4200) ( theta + 1)--------------------------------------------
Potential energy = mgh
= M(9.8)(h)
--> 9.8mh = 4200 (mass)( theta + 1)
--> 9.8h = 4200( theta + 1)
