Question:
Jay approached his guru in a depressed mood. "I want to change the world, but I feel helpless," he said. The guru turned and pushed a 5-kg rock over a ledge. It hit the ground 6 m below and came to rest. "There," said the guru. "I have changed the world." If the rock, the ground, and the atmosphere are all initially at 300 K, calculate the entropy change of the universe.
