A massless spring (k = 800 N/m), attached with
a mass (500 g) is completely immersed in 1 kg
of water. The spring is stretched by 2 cm and
released so that it starts vibrating. What would
be the order of magnitude of the change in the
temperature of water when the vibrations stop
completely ? (Assume that the water container
and spring receive negligible heat and specific
heat of mass = 400 J/kg K, specific heat of
water = 4184 J/kg K)
