1.	Calculate the difference in temperature between the water at the top and bottom of a water fall 200 m high. Specific heat capacity of water 42000 J kg ^(-1) K ^(-1).
Answer» <P> SOLUTION :P.E. of water at a height `h = mgh` `= m XX 9.8 xx 200 = 19 60 MJ` Using this P.. LET the temperature of water rise by `Delta T` `Delta Q = mc Delta T` `1960 m = m xx 4200 xx Delta T` `Delta T = (19 60)/(4200) = 0.4667 K`
