A spring of force constant k= 8.40 × 103 N/m is compressed by 0.370 m. It is placed into a vessel containing 3.10 kg of water and then released. Assuming all the energy from the spring goes into heating the water, find the change in temperature of the water. Specific heat capacity of water is 4186 J/(kg-K). 44.3 °C
