Welcome to PHY 121 Blog Help. Here's how it works. For each homework question and lab report we will make a post, this will probably contain a few tips on what the problems are about and how to solve them. If you are stuck on something then instead of emailing us directly you should post a comment in reply to the relevant post. We will try to guide you through tough points and help you understand the problems and the concepts behind them.

Think where the heat comes from that heats up the thermometer? Calculate the amount of heat needed to heat the thermometer.
It is hard to tell without knowing details of what you are doing. You need to find first how much heat thermometer received from the water. Then decide from where this heat came from.
