The height of victoria's falls is 63m63m. What is the difference in the temperature of water at the top and at the bottom of the fall? [Given 1cal=4.2J1cal = 4 . 2J and specific heat of water \left= 1cal{g}^{- 1}{C ∘}^{- 1}\right]

Options

  1. A14.76°C14 . 76 ° C
  2. B1.476°C1 . 476 ° C
  3. C0.147°C0 . 147 ° C
  4. D0.014°C0 . 014 ° C

Correct answer

C. 0.147°C0 . 147 ° C

Step-by-step solution

Here use the concept of conservation of energy, here potential energy is converted in to heat energy, ⇒mgh=msΔθ⇒ mgh = ms\Delta\theta, here m,h and sm, h \text{ and } s, is the mass of the liquid, height of the fall, and specific heat capacity then, g×63=Δθ×4.2×103g \times 63 = \Delta\theta \times 4 . 2 \times {10}^{3}⇒Δθ=0.147°C⇒ \Delta\theta = 0 . 147 ° C.
