Assume Lake Ontario
contains 1.60 ✕ 1012 m3 of
water, and assume the water's density is that of water
at 20°C and 1 atm.
(a) How much energy (in J) is required to raise the
temperature of that volume of water
from 11.4°C to 20.6°C?
J
(b) How many years would it take to supply this amount of
energy by using a power of 1,400 MW generated by an
electric power plant?
