The relation between the work done and the heat produced is calculated in the following manner.
Using the above setup, the mechanical work is obtained by using potential energy lost by the falling mass.
Therefore, work done is equal to the potential energy of the falling mass.
Thus, the work done is calculated by the formula,
The heat that is generated in the mass of water in the calorimeter chamber is calculated by the formula,
where, water equivalent of calorimeter is the amount of water that absorbs the same amount of heat as the calorimeter to raise the temperature by one degree.
For the comparison of the work done with heat, the measurements that we need is,

To determine: If the reasonable result is obtained from a single experiment.
Answer to Problem 1DE
Solution: No.
Explanation of Solution
The given experiment determines the relation of amount of work that is converted into heat energy.
This should be applicable for all sets of systems of thermodynamics.
Therefore, the same relation should be obtained in different setups of experiments.
Hence, the reasonable results are not obtained by single experiment.

Answer to Problem 1DE
Solution: The precision in the measurement of the heat produced from work should be accurate for the perfect conclusion.
Explanation of Solution
The given experiment determines the relation of amount of work that is converted into heat energy.
The error that may occur is the loss of heat from the system. Therefore, the system should be properly isolated to measure appropriate heat.

To determine: The example that demonstrates the relationship between heat and a form of energy other than mechanical work.
Answer to Problem 1DE
Solution: The relationship between heat and a form of energy other than mechanical work is,
Explanation of Solution
In the above experiment, the water is stirred using a paddle with a known falling mass. The water is placed isolated in a calorimeter and a thermometer measures the temperature change in it.
The rotation in the water is obstructed by the vanes in the container. This causes the rise in temperature of water that is measured using thermometer.
The rise in temperature with the mechanical work is measured.
The relation between the work done and the heat produced is calculated in the following manner.
Using the above setup, the mechanical work is obtained by using potential energy lost by the falling mass.
Therefore, work done is equal to the potential energy of the falling mass.
Thus, the work done is calculated by the formula,
The heat that is generated in the mass of water in the calorimeter chamber is calculated by the formula,
Where, Water equivalent of calorimeter is the amount of water that absorbs the same amount of heat as the calorimeter to raise the temperature by one degree.
The ratio of the work done in generating heat is calculated by the formula,
Here, the constant is called as mechanical equivalent of heat.
Therefore, mechanical equivalent of heat is the form of energy.
The above equation is modified as,
