. It is claimed that large trees can evaporate as much as 900 kg of water per day. (a) Assuming the average rise of water to be 9.0 m from the ground, how much energy must be supplied to do this? (b) What is the average power if the evaporation is assumed to occur during 12 h of the day?

Though a different question I think this will be th answer.

900kg per day means 450kg per 12hrs.

So, to lift 450kg by 9m, the work done is 450*9*10=40500J {asssuming g=10}

Also to convert it into vapour form assuming the tempereture of atmosphere be 25C, the water is not heated so only energy required will be latent heat which is m*L=450*2260000=1017000J {Latent heat of vapourization is 2260000J/kg}

Adding this up we get 1017000+40500=1057500J=1057.5kJ.

For power divide energy by time in seconds.

Three identical balls are placed on a frictionless horizontal surface touching each other. They stick to each other because of adhesive. Another ball of same radius and mass m is placed over the void created by the three balls. Find the forces applied by the balls kept on the floor to each other if the system remains in equilibrium.
