Question

A 50 KW electric furnace measure 1.2m x 1.0m x 0.8m. When the temperature inside 
the furnace is 1520 oC, a block of aluminum with a mass of 300kg and a temperature 
of 16.5oC is placed inside. Assuming the heat loss from the furnace walls is 500 
Watts per m2
, how long will it take to heat the aluminum block to the furnace 
temperature? Assume that the specific heat of aluminum is 0.9 KJ/kg-K.

2. A hollow cylinder with one end closed 1.0m in diameter and 2.0m long weighs 3285
N. How many KN of lead weighing 110 KN/m³ must be placed inside the cylinder to
make it float with 0.5m above the water surface?
