Joule's Paddle Wheel Experiment

[steve_bank]

Jumping over from the pendulum thread.

Joule demonstrated heat, work, and energy are equivalent, ground breaking science in the day.

Which is why the unit for heat, work, ad energy is the Joule.

Joule's experiment determines that work done is equivalent to heat energy. In short, the same amount of work can yield the same heat and is independent of how the work is done. The equivalent of heat energy obtained by mechanical work is called mechanical equivalent heat.
