How Does Ice Melt When Hot Water Is Added?

AI Thread Summary
When hot water is added to ice, the heat from the water causes the ice to melt, resulting in a temperature equilibrium. The final temperature of the water in the cavity can be calculated using the principles of heat transfer and latent heat. To determine how much ice must melt to cool the hot water to this equilibrium temperature, additional details about the ice block's size and specific heat capacities are necessary. The discussion highlights the need for a formula that incorporates latent heat to solve these calculations. Understanding these concepts is essential for accurately predicting the outcomes of mixing hot water and ice.

If 58 grams of hot water at 71°C is poured into a cavity in a very large block of ice at 0°C, what will be the final temperature of the water in the cavity? in °C


How much ice must melt in order to cool the hot water down to this temperature? in grams

is there an equation for this?

There's a formula for this involving latent heat. I kinda forgot the details but there needs to be more information.

How big is the very large block of ice ?? I think the temperature would be 0 degrees celcius.

Anyone ?
 

Thread 'Errors and significant figures'

I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
