Question:

A perfectly insulating box is partially filled with water in which an electrical resistor is immersed. An external electrical generator converts the change in potential energy of a mass m which falls by a vertical distance h into electrical energy which is dissipated in the resistor. What value do q, w, and ΔU have if the system is defined as the resistor and the water? Everything else is in the surroundings.
