Q1)The concept to be applied is the initial potential energy of the spring and the gravitational potential energy of the block gets converted into heat and the water and the block absorbs that heat.
Since the block is suspended completely in water we should calculate its apparent weight.
Volume of the block V=1.2/6000=0.0002m3
Weight of the water of same volume=0.0002*1000*10=2N
So apparent weight of the block is 12-2=10N
To calculate potential energy of the spring:
We know mg=kx (Since the spring gets extended due its APPARENT weight)
ie 10=200x
So x=0.05m
So potential energy of spring E1=kx2/2=0.25J
Gravitional potential energy E2=mgh=10*0.4=4J
So total initial energy=4.25J
This energy is converted into heat and it is absorbed by water as well as the block.
So using Q=mC


we get
So


=0.003
