The figure shows a peddle wheel couple to a mass of 12 kg through fixed frictionless pulley. The paddle is immersed in a liquid of heat capacity 4200 J K-1 kept in an adiabatic container. Consider a time interval in which the 12 kg block falls slowly through 70 cm.

(a) How much heat is given to the liquid ?

(b) How much work is done on the liquid?

(c) Calculate the rise in the temperature of the liquid neglecting the heat capacity of the container and the paddle
