Before going in for an annual physical, a 70.0-{\rm kg} person whose body temperature is 37.0{\rm ^{\circ} C} consumes an entire 0.355-{\rm liter} can of a soft drink (which is mostly water) at12.0{\rm ^{\circ} C}. A.)What will be the person's body temperature T_final after equilibrium is attained? Ignore any heating by theperson's metabolism. The specific heat capacity of a human body is3480 {\rm J/kg \cdot K} .

B.)Is the change in the person's body temperature great enoughto be measured by a medical thermometer? (A high-quality medicalthermometer can measure temperature changes as small as0.1{\rm ^{\circ}C} or less.) yes or no

A) The person's body temperature T_final after equilibrium is attained = 36.85°C

B) The change in the person's temperature after equilibrium is attained = 0.15°C

A high-quality medical thermometer can measure temperature changes as small as 0.1°C, hence, YES, it would detect the minute drop by 0.15°C too.

Explanation:

If we assume that the soft drink has the same density as water (since it is stated in the question that it is mostly water).

Density of water = 1 g/mL = 1 kg/L

Ignoring any heating by the person's metabolism,

A) So, heat lost by the human body = heat gained by the soft drink as it attains thermal equilibrium with the human body

Let the final temperature of the human body + soft drink set up be T

Heat lost by the human body = mCΔT

m = mass of the human body = 70.0 kg

C = Specific heat capacity of the human body = 3480 J/kg.K

ΔT = Temperature change of the human body = 37 - (Final temperature) = 37 - T

Heat lost by the body = 70 × 3480 × (37 - T)

= (9,013,200 - 243,600T) J

Heat gained by soft drink = mCΔT

m = mass of the soft drink = density × volume = 1 × 0.355 = 0.355 kg

C = specific heat capacity of the soft drink = specific heat capacity of the soft drink = 4182 J/kg.K

ΔT = (final temperature) - 12 = (T - 12)

Heat gained by the soft drink = 0.355 × 4182 × (T - 12) = (1,484.61T - 17,815.32) J

heat lost by the human body = heat gained by the soft drink as it attains thermal equilibrium with the human body

(9,013,200 - 243,600T) = (1,484.61T - 17,815.32)

9,013,200 + 17,815.32 = 1,484.61T + 243,600T

9,031,015.32 = 245,084.61T

T = (9,031,015.32/245,084.61)

= 36.8485614825 = 36.85°C

B) The change in the person's temperature = 37 - 36.85 = 0.15°C

A high-quality medical thermometer can measure temperature changes as small as 0.1°C, hence it would detect the minute drop by 0.15°C too.

Hope this Helps!!!

most voltage drop calculators want the distance between the source and destination. then internally, they double it so both the source and return wires are calculated. but you need to know which distance the calculator uses so you're not half of what you should be or double what you should be.

most circuit breakers will not take a #6 directly, so the electrician will have to splice on a smaller pigtail. you also have to upsize the grounding wire when you upsized the ungrounded (hot) wire (see note in 250.122). this will preclude using most cable assemblies, as a cable with #6 copper will most likely only have a #10 grounding conductor. you need a #6 grounding conductor if the circuit is 20a. a #8 cable is no better, as it will have a #10 grounding conductor too. but most 20a breakers will take a #8 directly.

in your related post, you didn't say what type of load this is. if it is a light or heater, voltage drop won't be a big issue. if this is a motor, the current needs are huge at startup and the voltage drop can pose a problem. if this is a motor, knowing if the motor is under much load during startup will answer the voltage drop effect (a saw is easier to start than a compressor).

i think it’s a. this is because if they measured the mass of something with a mass of 150g, then their final answer would have to be approximately 150g. though all of their answers are almost 150, rosa and tran have the closest answers (or the exact answer) to the accurate one.
