One way to monitor global warming is to measure the average temperature of the ocean. researchers are doing this by measuring the time it takes sound pulses to travel underwater over large distances. at a depth of 1000 m, where ocean temperatures hold steady near 4∘c, the average sound speed is 1480m/s. it's known from laboratory measurements that the sound speed increases 4.0m/s for every 1.0∘c increase in temperature. in one experiment, where sounds generated near california are detected in the south pacific, the sound waves travel 7800 km .
if the smallest time change that can be reliably detected is 1.0 s, what is the smallest change in average temperature that can be measured? express your answer with the appropriate units.

Acoal-fired plant generates 600 mw of electric power. the plant uses 4.8 x 10^6 kg of coal each day, and the heat of combustion of coal is 3.3x 10^7 j/kg. the steam that drives the turbines is at a temperature of 300° c, and the exhaust water is at 37° c. (a) what is the overall efficiency of the plant for generating electric power? (b) how much thermal energy is exhausted each day? (c) what is the change in entropy of the universe for this heat engine? (d) using the same heat reservoirs, what is the maximum possible (carnot) efficiency for a heat engine?
