- Lake Erie contains roughly 4.00⋅10114.00⋅1011 m3 of water. Assume the density of this water is 1000. kg/m3 and the specific heat of water is 4186 J/kg˚C. It takes 2.31x10^19 J of energy to raise the temperature of that volume of water from 12.0 °C to 25.8 ˚C. An electric power plant can produce about 1110 MW.

Unitsarrow_forwardYou have a summer internship at NASA and are working on plans for a new space station to be launched into orbit around the Earth. The design of the space station is shown. It is to be constructed in the shape of a hollow ring of mass 58,500 kg. The structures other than the ring shown in the figure have negligible mass compared to the ring. Members of the crew will walk on a deck formed by the inner surface of the outer cylindrical wall of the ring, with radius r = 125 m. The thickness of the ring is very small compared to the radius, so we can model the ring as a hoop. At rest when constructed, the ring is to be set rotating about its axis so that the people standing inside on this deck experience an effective free-fall acceleration equal to g. The rotation is achieved by firing two small rockets attached tangentially to opposite points on the rim of the ring.
