Does specific heat of water remain constant throughout?
On a winter day the temperature of the tap water is $20^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ whereas the room temperature is $5^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. Water is stored in a tank of capacity $0.5 \mathrm{~m}^3$ for household use. If it were possible to use the heat liberated by the water to lift a 10 kg mass vertically, how high can it be lifted as the water comes to the room temperature? Take $\mathrm{g}=10 \mathrm{~m} \mathrm{~s}^{-2}$.
