The correct answer is:
As water equivalent of pitcher is 0.5 kg, i..e., pitcher is equivalent to 0.5 kg of water, heat to be extracted from the system of water and pitcher for decreasing its temperature from 30 to 28oC is
And heat extracted from the pitcher through evaporation in t minutes
According to given problem , i.e.,
t = 34.5 min
And heat extracted from the pitcher through evaporation in t minutes
According to given problem , i.e.,
t = 34.5 min
