Q.
Figure shows a paddle wheel coupled with an agitator submerged in a water tank placed in an ice bath. The thickness of tank walls is 2mm and with thermal conductivity 0.5W/m∘C. The surface area of tank in contact with water is 0.05m2. As the block of mass M attached to wheel goes down agitator rotates. It is found that in steady state block goes down at a constant speed of 0.1m/s and water temperature remain constant at 1°C. Find the mass of block (in kg). (Take g=10m/s2 )

Detailed Solution
rate of loss in gravitational potential energy of block is equal to the rate of heat conduction from water to ice bath as Twater =constant.rate of loss of gravitational P.E. is = Mg vrate of the thermal conduction dθdt=kAT2−T1x=0.5×0.05×12×10−3=12.5 Js.for steady temperature of water Mg v=12.5 M=12.510×0.1=12.5kg
