Hey ya, I need to design 3 different experiments to find the specific heat capacity of a metal block. I have got 2 but am just stuck for a third. The two i have are:
Method of mixtures
Heat up metal block in a water math, transfer to a cold water bath and observe the temperature rise.
Electrical method
Heat up metal block with a heating rod inserted in, measure voltage, current and temperature every 30 seconds.
I have been trying to find another method, and have found a mechanical method (use a crank to raise a load) but am not sure how that works.
Anyone have any ideas of a possible experiment or how the crank one works?
Thanx
