The original poster seeks to determine the mass of water in a container using a data plot that relates temperature and heat added. The subject area involves thermodynamics, specifically the relationship between heat transfer and temperature change in water.
Some participants have found the suggested resource helpful, indicating a shift in their understanding. However, there is no explicit consensus on the method to calculate the mass of water, and multiple interpretations of the problem may still be under consideration.
The original poster expresses a lack of direction in starting the problem, which may indicate constraints in prior knowledge or understanding of the relevant concepts.
That seems to work, I don't know how that escaped me but I got it now! Thanks!scottdave said:See if this helps. http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/thermo/spht.html
The Hyperphysics site has some well-written articles and some nice interactive tools.etv24 said:That seems to work, I don't know how that escaped me but I got it now! Thanks!
