**Heat Transfer Calculation in Automobile Radiators****Problem Overview:**The temperature of the cooling water as it leaves the hot engine of an automobile is 240 °F. After it passes through the radiator, the temperature drops to 175 °F. We need to calculate the amount of heat transferred from the engine to the surroundings by one gallon of water. The specific heat capacity of water is 4.184 J/g°C.**Steps to Solve the Problem:**1. **Convert Temperatures to Celsius:** - Use the conversion formula: \( °C = (°F - 32) \times \frac{5}{9} \). - Convert 240 °F and 175 °F to Celsius.2. **Calculate the Change in Temperature (ΔT):** - Find the difference between the initial and final temperatures in Celsius.3. **Determine the Mass of Water:** - Find the mass of one gallon of water in grams.4. **Calculate Heat Transferred (q):** - Use the formula: \( q = m \times c \times ΔT \), where \( m \) is the mass of the water, \( c \) is the specific heat capacity, and \( ΔT \) is the temperature change.**Note:** Ensure all units are consistent, particularly when converting temperatures and calculating heat in Joules, to obtain accurate results.
