What Will Be the Water Temperature in a Plastic Cup in a 42°C Shaker?

AI Thread Summary
In a scenario where a 3ml plastic cup containing 1ml of water is placed in a 42°C shaker, the expected water temperature could vary significantly. Factors influencing the final temperature include the thermal conductivity of the plastic, the duration of exposure, and the initial temperature of the water. The water temperature might be higher than 42°C if heat transfer is efficient, but it could also remain lower depending on the conditions. The discussion highlights the need for clearer parameters to accurately predict the water temperature. Understanding these variables is crucial for determining the outcome.

When room temperature is at 19 degree centigrade,
I found that water temperature is at about 20 degree centigrade

a small plastic cup at volume of 3ml, filled with 1ml of water,
put in a secluded shaker at the temperature of 42 degree centigrade,
, what should the water temperature inside be? higher than 42 or lower than 42, how much higher or lower could it be?
Thanks

It could be a lot higher or a lot lower depending on what the problem actually is. The statement of this problem is pretty incoherent, sorry.

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...
