Every day a certain amount of water evaporates from Earth's oceans, lakes, and land surface and forms water vapor and clouds in the atmosphere. Every day a certain amount of rain falls back to Earth. Make the reasonable assumption that, on average, the energy absorbed by the evaporation and lifting of the water is equal to the energy released by its condensation and falling back to earth. The evaporation of one mole of water requires approximately 40.6x103 J of heat. An equal amount of heat is released when a mole of water condenses The annual volume of rainfall on Earth is approximately 5.1×105 km3 and the average cloud altitude is 8.3 km above Earth's surface. How much energy, in joules, is required every day to evaporate and lift the water?

As you are trying to move a heavy box of mass m, you realize that it is too heavy for you to lift by yourself. there is no one around to , so you attach an ideal pulley to the box and a massless rope to the ceiling, which you wrap around the pulley. you pull up on the rope to lift the box. use g for the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity and neglect friction forces. once you have pulled hard enough to start the box moving upward, what is the magnitude f of the upward force you must apply to the rope to start raising the box with constant velocity? express the magnitude of the force in terms of m, the mass of the box.
