The height of victoria's falls is 63 m. What is the difference in the temperature of water at the top and at the bottom of the fall? [Given 1 cal=4.2 J and specific heat of water =1 cal g-1 C-1
  1. 14.76 °C
  2. 1.476 °C
  3. 0.147 °C
  4. 0.014 °C

Solution

Here use the concept of conservation of energy, here potential energy is converted in to heat energy, mgh=msΔθ, here m, h & s, is the mass of the liquid, height of the fall, and specific heat capacity then, g×63=Δθ×4.2×103Δθ=0.147°C.
