No, this isn't a homework question. It's really something I've honestly wondered but couldn't exactly figure out.
There have been times where I forgot to turn my hot tub temperature up (I keep it around 75 to conserve elec.).. and have wondered how many 1 gallon pots of boiling water it would take to raise the temperature 20 degrees.
There was a time in the winter when the heater tripped, and due to the design, the heater won't turn on unless the water is at 40 degrees. Well, the water was about 36-38 degrees and I actually did think about putting pots of boiling water.. and how many it would take to raise that temp up to 40.
Yes, I'm retarded
