Air temperature of 37 °C increases swimming pool temperature of 2.55 °C. What is the fraction of the water in the pool must evaporate during this time to carry enough energy to keep the temperature of the pool constant?
4186 J/(kg°C) = specific heat of water
2,430,000 (2.43 x 106) J/kg = latent heat of vaporization for the water in the pool.
The iceberg requires 7.4 x 1020 Joules of energy to melt it completely. It absorbs energy from the Sun at a constant average rate of 88 Watts/m2. The total surface area of iceberg exposed to the sunlight is 12 billion (1.2 x 1010) square meters.
How long will it take for sunlight to melt the entire iceberg in years
