A metal block of density 6000kg m-3 and mass 1.2kg is suspended through a spring of spring constant 200N m-1. The spring-block system is dipped in water kept in a vessel. The water has a mass of 260g and the block is at a height 40cm above the bottom of the vessel. If the support to the spring is broken, what will be the rise in the temperature of the water. Specific heat capacity of the block is 250Jkg-1 K-1 and that of water is 4200Jkg-1 K-1. Heat capacities of the vessel and the spring are negligible.
