h = 152.266 cm Mass of water = 499.996 g Specific heat of water = 0.99823 cal/g°C g = 980.35 cm/s^2 a) Using the values above, what mass, m, would need to be attached to the paddlewheel to bring the temperature of the water in the Joule’s Paddlewheel experiment from approximately room temperature, 22°C, up to boiling temperature, 100 °C? Report your answer to two decimal places. b) Compare this mass to the mass of a physics textbook: The mass of the physics book is 1.020 kg, this mass from part (a) would be the same as ______ copies of the text pulling the paddlewheel. c) A new copy of the physics textbook is listed $135.00 in the bookstore. How much would it cost to boil our tank of water using this method of dropping books?
