Question:

Count Rumford observed that using cannon boring machinery a single horse could heat 11.6 kg of ice water (T = 273 K) to T = 355 K in 2.5 hours. Assuming the same rate of work, how high could a horse raise a 225 kg weight in 2.5 minutes? Assume the heat capacity of water is 4.18 J K−1 g−1.
