1. I have an airless tube connected to a pot full of mercury. After opening the tap, marked as K, mercury grew up by height h and mass m. How much heat was released in this situation?
P.S. I do not have any exact numbers or sizes...only variables...
2. Homework Equations
none
3. All i did yet, is that i tried to think about the first law of thermodynamics, but what i get here is that i do not have the capacity V when calcutating the work. I also think I should use A=mgh, because i have m and h
So could anybody give me any idea where should I start?
