Calculate the work done, W=mgh for a mass of 300 g. Then, using the accepted value for the specific heat of water, calculate the change in heat, Q=CMAT for the same data point. a) Calculate the ratio WQ b) Suppose scale used to measure the mass of 300 g was not properly zeroed, and the mass was, in fact 350 g. Recalculate the ratio W/Q. c) Compare the ratios from part a) and b). Do you suspect the scale was zeroed properly, or not? Why?
Finding the specific heat of water around room temperature is the ultimate goal of Joule's Paddle-wheel experiment. The accepted value around room temperature is Cacc = 0.99823 cal/g°C
