Explanation / Answer

here,

the equivalent resistance for 10 ohm and 5 ohm resistance circuit be R1

1/R1 = 1/(10 + 10) + 1/(5 + 5) + 1/(10 + 10)

R1 = 5 ohm

the equivalent resistance for the whole circuit , Req = R1 + 5 + 20 ohm = 30 ohm

the current through 20 ohm , I = V/Req

I = 30/30 = 1 A

let the time taken to heat water be t

heat energy supplied by resistor = heat energy gained by water

I^2 * R * t = m * Cw * ( Tf - Ti)

1^2 * 20 * t = 111 * 4.186 * ( 58.1 - 10.5)

t = 1106 s

the time taken is 1106 s
