A family comes home from a long vacation with laundry to do and showers to take. The water heater has been turned off during the vacation. The water heater has a capacity of 40 falls and a 4800 watt (1 watt=1 J/s) heating element (1 gallon= .00379 m^3). The density of water is 1 x 10^3 kg/m^3. Find the heat required to raise the water temperature from 20°C to 60°C. No water is removed during the heating process, and waters specific heat is c=1 cal/g °C
