Find by how much would the temperature of the water

Reference no: EM13684962

A waterfall is 87 meter high. If 20 percent of the gravitational potential energy of the water went into heating the water, find by how much would the temperature of the water, increase in going from the top of the falls to the bottom? [Hint: Consider a kilogram of water going over the falls.]
