[QUOTE="Sondra, post: 5264325, member: 574734"] [h2]Homework Statement [/h2] Consider the apparatus that Joule used in his experiments on the mechanical equivalent of heat, shown in the figure below. Suppose both blocks have a mass of 0.69 kg and that they fall through a distance of 0.45 m. [h2]Homework Equations[/h2] (a) Find the expected rise in temperature of the water given that 6200 J are needed for every 1.0° C increase. Give your answer in Celsius degrees. (b) Find the rise in temperature in Fahrenheit degrees. [h2]The Attempt at a Solution[/h2] a) Work=2blocks (mgh) = 6.086J Change in temp= W(1 celsius/6200J)= 9.82e-3 b) I tried converting 1 celsius to fahrenheit so my equation was: Change in temp= W(33.8/6200J) = 0.033 F but that isn't correct. I don't know how to do this part of the problem. Any and all help is appreciated [/QUOTE]
