Latent heat of vaporisation question

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around estimating the heat capacity of a flask and calculating the mass of water collected during boiling. A pupil determined that with a heat supply of 16W, the total heat supplied over 30 minutes is 28,880J, leading to an upper limit for the heat capacity of 360 J/K. There is confusion regarding the calculation of the mass of water collected when the power supply increases to 60W. The latent heat of vaporization for water is noted as 2.26 x 10^6 J/Kg. The thread concludes with the user resolving their confusion independently.

Homework Statement


A pupil performing an experiment finds that, when the heat supply is 16W, it takes 30 mins for the temp of the water to rise from 20°C to 100°C, and that the rate of evap is very
slow even at the latter temp. Estimate an upper limit to the value of the heat capacity of the inner flask and its contents. Calculate the mass of water collected after 30mins of steady boiling when the power supply is 60W.

(lv of water = 2.26 x 10^6 J/Kg)



The attempt at a solution

For the upper limit i did this
total heat supplied= 16 x 30 x 60= 28,880J

C= E/Δt= 28,800/80 = 360 J/K.

Now for the mass of water I get confused with what to do

Nevermind I figured it out. xD
 
Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanged 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...
