Question
The temperature of an object is observed to rise in a period. In this period
(a) heat is certainly supplied to it
(b) heat is certainly not supplied to it
(c) heat may have been supplied to it
(d) work may have been done on it

Solution
(c) heat may have been supplied to it
(d) work may have been done on it
If the temperature of an object rises in a period, then there are two possibilities. The heat may have been supplied to it, leading to an increase of the internal energy of the object. That will increase the temperature of the body.
The second possibility is that some work may have been done on it, again leading to an increase of the internal energy of the body. That will also increase the temperature of the body.

An earthen pitcher loses 1 gm of water per minute due to evaporation. If the water equivalent of the pitcher is 0.5 kg and the pitcher contains 9.5 kg of water, calculate the time required for the water in a pitcher to cool to 28°C from the original temperature of 30°C. Neglect radiation effects. The latent heat of vaporization in this range of temperature is 580 Cal/gm and the specific heat of water is 1 Cal/gm°C.
