1 L of water is exactly one cubic meter!
m= v*r

2006-11-21 08:18:36 | Since the formula for specific heat c has delta T in it, why do you take 1 degree as delta T instead of 99?

because the problem says that it cools by 1 degree not that it cools TO 1 degree which means that the change in temperature (delta T) is 1 degree not 99 degrees.

2005-11-10 23:14:50 | I dont feel like this problem makes any sense at all. It is worded completely wrong.

In fact it is worded perfectly correctly. The statement that the 100-Watt heating element remains for a long time but the water does not boil informs us that the water must be disipating the energy at precisely this rate. Hence P_{out} =100W

I can see it makes sense now thanks to einstein's comment. However I have to agree that this question is worded very badly. The sentance "the heating element is on for a long time and the water although close to boiling does not boil" makes it sound like the water heats up to being close to boiling, not that the water started close to being at boiling point and despite the heaters presence,did not boil.rnWould have been much better to say the temperature of the water remains static, despite heater of 100W being placed in it.

I agree with Imperate. I thought the question meant that the heater heated the water (and increased the temperature) until it was removed right before the water started to boil. In that case, the whole heater thing seemed like a red herring. With only 1.7 minutes per question, we don't really have time to decipher poorly worded questions...

I disagree with Imperiate. The question isn't saying that the water started at close to boiling - rather, it is saying that the steady state of the system is such that at the steady state temperature (which is close to 100 C) the system is losing 100 W. I think it is worded in such a way that one can glean that information without it having to be stated directly.
