Water falls from a height `500m`, what is the rise in temperature of water at bottom if whole energy remains in the water ? `(J=4.2)`

A

`0.96^(@)C`

B

`1.02^(@)C`

C

`1.16^(@)C`

D

`0.23^(@)C`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
By the law of conservation of energy JmC dT=mgh
`dT=(gh)/(Jc)=(9.8xx500)/(4.2xx10^(3))=1.17^(@)C`
