A flow calorimeter is a device used to measure the specific heat of a liquid. Energy is added as heat at a known rate to a stream of the liquid as it passes through the calorimeter at a known rate. Measurement of the resulting temperature difference between the inflow and the outflow points of the liquid stream enables us to compute the specific heat of the liquid. Suppose a liquid of density 0.86 g/cm³ flows through a calorimeter at the rate of 8.1 cm³/s. When energy is added at the rate of 200 W by means of an electric heating coil, a temperature difference of 18°C is established in steady-state conditions between the inflow and the outflow points. What is the specific heat of the liquid? Number Units

Problem 21. Newton's law of cooling states that the temperature of an object changes at a rate proportional to the difference between its temperature and that of its sur- roundings. Suppose that the temperature of a cup of coffee obeys Newton's law of cooling.

(b) Determine the time when the coffee reaches a temperature of 40°C. (Note: Begin the solution by stating your notation).
You are working as a land surveyor in Upington and decided to BUY a plot of land for yourself. You now measure the physical distance between two outer points on the plot with a steel tape on a day when the temperature is almost 45 degrees Celsius. You measure a distance of exactly 1000 m on this day with the steel measuring tape(a=1.2x10/K). You now decided to verify your data (i.e. the 1000 m distance) a month later when the temperature was now only 5 degrees Celsius using the same steel tape. a) Why do you think the steel tape will give a controversial answer in the cold weather? b) Explain (using words and a calculation) whether you expect to find a distance of more than 1000 m or less than 1000 m between the 2 poles at 5 degrees celsius.
