An iron block of mass miron = 1 kg at a temperature of Tiron =
200°C is thrown in sub-cooled water of mass m at Twater = 25°C
enclosed in an insulated container. Calculate and plot in Excel or
in similar programs the entropy generated as a result of the heat
transfer process for a range of water mass values between 10 kg and
10,000 kg. (Please submit your Excel sheet or your computer program
with the homework.

A block of ice, mass 3.20 kg and initial temperature of -8
oC, is placed in an insulating container. 5.00 kg of
water at temperature 13 oC, is added to the container.
The water and ice exchange heat, but no other heat flows into or
out of the container.
In the process of the water and ice reaching equilibrium, how
much ice melts?
Give your answer in kg to three digits.
Note: It is possible that the answer is zero.

A 7.0-kg rock at a temperature of 30°C is dropped into a shallow
lake at 30°C from a height of 1.0×10^5 m. What is the resulting
change in entropy of the universe? (b) If the temperature of the
rock is 100°C when it is dropped, what is the change of entropy of
the universe? Assume that air friction is negligible (not a good
assumption) and that c=860J/kg·K is the specific heat of the
rock.

A 1.50-kg block is on a frictionless, 30 degrees inclined plane.
The block is attached to a spring (k = 40.0N/m ) that is
fixed to a wall at the bottom of the incline. A light string
attached to the block runs over a frictionless pulley to a 60.0-g
suspended mass. The suspended mass is given an initial downward
speed of 1.40m/s. How far does it drop before coming to rest?
(Assume the spring is unlimited in how far it...
