A 50-cm-long, 800-W electric resistance heating element whose diameter is 0.5 cm is immersed in 40 kg

Question:

A 50-cm-long, 800-W electric resistance heating element whose diameter is 0.5 cm is immersed in 40 kg of water initially at 20°C. Assuming the water container is well insulated determine how long it will take for this heater to raise the water temperature to 80°C. Also, determine the minimum work input required and energy destruction for this process, in kJ. Take T0 = 20°C.
