Water falls from a height $500m$. What is the rise in temperature of water at bottom if whole energy remains in the water ........... $^\circ \mathrm{C}$

Two rods, one of aluminum and the other made of steel, having initial length ${l_1}$ and ${l_2}$ are connected together to form a single rod of length ${l_1} + {l_2}$. The coefficients of linear expansion for aluminum and steel are ${\alpha _a}$ and ${\alpha _s}$ respectively. If the length of each rod increases by the same amount when their temperature are raised by ${t^o}C$, then find the ratio $\frac{{{l_1}}}{{({l_1} + {l_2})}}$
