Marc attaches a falling 500-kg object with a rope through a pulley to a paddle wheel shaft. He
places the system in a well-insulated tank holding 25 kg of water. When the object falls, it
causes the paddle wheel to rotate and churn the water. If the object falls a vertical distance of
100 m at constant speed, what is the temperature change of the water? (1 kcal = 4 186 J, the
specific heat of water is 4 186 J/kg°C, and g = 9.8 m/s2).
Answer: 4.7 C°
