Question:

A scientist working late at night in her low-temperature physics laboratory decides to have a cup of hot tea, but discovers the lab hot plate is broken. Not to be deterred, she puts about 8 oz of water, at 12°C, from the tap into a lab dewar (essentially a large thermos bottle) and begins shaking it up and down. With each shake the water is thrown up and falls back down a distance of 33.3 cm. If she can complete 30 shakes per minute, how long will it take to heat the water to 87°C? Would this really work? If not, why not?
