A 170-g quantity of a certain metal, initially at 125°C, is dropped into an insulated beaker containing 84 g of water at 16°C. The final temperature of the metal and water in the beaker is measured as 39°C. Assume that the heat capacity of the beaker can be ignored.
a. How much heat has been transferred from the metal to the water?
b. Given the temperature change and mass of the metal, what is the specific heat capacity of the metal?
c. If the final temperature of the water and this metal is 53°C instead of 39°C, what quantity of this metal (initially at 125°C) was dropped into the insulated beaker?
(a)
The amount of heat transferred from metal to water.
Answer to Problem 4SP
The amount of heat transferred from metal to water is
Explanation of Solution
Given info: A
Write the expression for heat in terms of specific heat capacity
Here,
Write the expression for change in temperature
Here,
Substitute equation (2) in (1)
Substitute
Conclusion:
The amount of heat transferred from metal to water is
(b)
The specific heat capacity of metal.
Answer to Problem 4SP
The specific heat capacity of metal is
Explanation of Solution
Given info: A
Write the expression for specific heat capacity of metal
Substitute
The negative sign in the above expression is avoided since specific heat capacity is a positive quantity.
Conclusion:
The specific heat capacity of metal is
(c)
The quantity of heat was dropped from metal to insulating beaker.
Answer to Problem 4SP
The quantity of heat was dropped from metal to insulating beaker is
Explanation of Solution
Given info: A
Write the expression for heat in terms of specific heat capacity
Here,
Write the expression for change in temperature
Here,
Substitute equation (2) in (1)
Substitute
Write the expression of mass in terms of specific heat capacity
Substitute
The negative sign in the above equation is avoided since mass is always a positive quantity.
Conclusion:
The quantity of heat was dropped from metal to insulating beaker is

- Hi can u please solvearrow_forward6. Bending a lens in OpticStudio or OSLO. In either package, create a BK7 singlet lens of 10 mm semi-diameter and with 10 mm thickness. Set the wavelength to the (default) 0.55 microns and a single on-axis field point at infinite object distance. Set the image distance to 200 mm. Make the first surface the stop insure that the lens is fully filled (that is, that the entrance beam has a radius of 10 mm). Use the lens-maker's equation to calculate initial glass curvatures assuming you want a symmetric, bi-convex lens with an effective focal length of 200 mm. Get this working and examine the RMS spot size using the "Text" tab of the Spot Diagram analysis tab (OpticStudio) or the Spd command of the text widnow (OSLO). You should find the lens is far from diffraction limited, with a spot size of more than 100 microns. Now let's optimize this lens. In OpticStudio, create a default merit function optimizing on spot size.Then insert one extra line at the top of the merit function.
