Problem

10.12 A 10 kW drilling machine is used to drill a bore in a small aluminium block of mass 8.0 kg . How much is the rise in temperature of the block in 2.5 minutes, assuming 50%50 \% of power is used up in heating the machine itself or lost to the surroundings. Specific heat of aluminium =0.91 J g−1 K−1=0.91 \mathrm{~J} \mathrm{~g}^{-1} \mathrm{~K}^{-1}.
