Chapter 9, Problem 9.141CP
We said in Section 9.1 that the potential energy of water at the top of a dam or waterfall is converted into heat when the water dashes against rocks at the bottom. The potential energy of the water at the top is equal to Ep= mgh, where m is the mass of the water, g is the acceleration of the falling water due to gravity (g = 9.81 m/s2), and h is the height of the water. Assuming that all the energy is converted to heat, calculate the temperature rise of the water in degrees Celsius after falling over California's Yo-semite Falls, a distance of 739 m. The specific heat of water is 4.18J/(g•K).
