    The height of a water fall is 84 m. Assuming that the entire kinetic energy of falling water is converted into heat, the rise in temperature of the water will be

    A)  0.196°C                               

    B)  1.960°C

    C)   0.96°C                                

    D)  0.0196°C

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                     If energy is converted into heat, then \[ms\Delta \theta =\frac{1}{2}\frac{m{{v}^{2}}}{J}=\frac{mgh}{4.2}\]where s is specific heat of water. \[\therefore \]\[m\times 1\times {{10}^{3}}\times \Delta \theta =\frac{m\times 9.8\times 84}{4.2}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\Delta \theta ={{0.196}^{o}}C\] Rise in temperature\[=0.196{}^\circ C\]
