    Latent Heat, Some Density, and God knows what else

    The problem didn't provide me with the heat capacities, but even if I had them, I don't know how to use them.

    Latent Heat, Some Density, and God knows what else

    Well, for the 4186, I don't quite remember how I got that as the specific heat of water. I think I may have seen it in an example problem in the book. Doesn't the S.H. of H2O = 1? I don't know how wrong my answer was, I just know it was more than 2% wrong. I may have forgotten about the water...

    I've been having trouble understanding this second semester of physics thus far. I've done SHM pretty well, but this stuff is just strange to me. So here are the problems verbatum, but i'll fill out the template below to help ease the pains. For problem 1: Homework Statement The heating...
