Ideally, when a thermometer is used to measure the temperature ofanobject, the temperature of the object itself should notchange.However, if a significant amount of heat flows from theobject tothe thermometer, the temperature will change. Athermometer has amass of 33.4 g, a specific heat capacity ofc = 832 J/(kgCÂ°), and a temperature of 19.2 Â°C. It isimmersed in 145 gof water, and the final temperature of the waterand thermometer is67.8 Â°C. What was the temperature of the water indegreesCelsius before the insertion of the thermometer?

An engineer is developing an electric water heater to provide a continuous ("on-demand") supply of hot water. One trial design is shown in the figure. Water is flowing at the rate F, the inlet thermometer registers T₁, the voltmeter reads V, and the ammeter reads current I. Then the power (i.e., the heat generated per unit time by the heating element) is VI.
Assume that the heat capacity of water is C and that the heat capacity of the heater apparatus is C_h.
Part A:
When a steady state is finally reached, what is the temperature reading T₂ of the outlet thermometer? Express the outlet temperature in terms of T₁, F, C, and any other given quantities.
Part B:

Imagine that the input temperature of the water is T₁=18 degrees C, the ammeter reads I=15.0 A, the voltmeter reads V=120V, and the flow rate is F=0.500 kg/min. The heat capacity of water C=4200 J/(kg-K). What is the power P at which the heater operates?
