To solve the problem of how long it will take to heat 200 kg of water from 10°C to 70°C using an electric heater that supplies 1.8 kW of power, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Convert Power to Watts The power supplied by the heater is given as 1.8 kW. We need to convert this to watts: \[ P = 1.8 \, \text{kW} = 1.8 \times 10^3 \, \text{W} \] ...
