A 7.0-kg rock at a temperature of 30°C is dropped into a shallowlake at 30°C from a height of 1.0×10^5 m. What is the resultingchange in entropy of the universe? (b) If the temperature of therock is 100°C when it is dropped, what is the change of entropy ofthe universe? Assume that air friction is negligible (not a goodassumption) and that c=860J/kg·K is the specific heat of therock.
