Chapter 15, Problem 75GP

A dark blue cylindrical bottle is 22 cm high and has a diameter of 7.0 cm. It is filled with water. The bottle absorbs 60% of the light that shines on it as it lies on its side in the noonday sun, with intensity 1000 W/m². By how much will the temperature of the water increase in 5.0 min if there’s negligible heat loss to the surrounding air?

5.97 Block A, with weight 3w, slides down an inclined plane S of slope angle 36.9° at a constant speed while plank B, with weight w, rests on top of A. The plank is attached by a cord to the wall (Fig. P5.97). (a) Draw a diagram of all the forces acting on block A. (b) If the coefficient of kinetic friction is the same between A and B and between S and A, determine its value. Figure P5.97 B A S 36.9°
