Problem Statement

While Person A was boiling water in an electric kettle as usual, the kettle suddenly exploded for some unknown reason (see the explanation for Question 3 for details), so Person A had no choice but to boil water using an IH cooktop and a kettle instead.

The volume of water boiled in the kettle has a mass of m0m_0m0​ and an initial temperature of T0T_0T0​. It is assumed that the water reaches a temperature of T1T_1T1​ in 8 minutes and 30 seconds, at which point heating is stopped.

Assume that η0\eta_0η0​ is the proportion (thermal efficiency) of the thermal energy generated by the induction cooktop that is used to heat the kettle and the water as a whole, rather than escaping to the outside. Note that the heat capacity of the kettle is negligible, and the specific heat capacity of water, cwc_wcw​, is constant regardless of temperature.

Constraints

  • η0=0.42\eta_0 = 0.42η0​=0.42 (42%42\%42%)
  • m0=5950 gm_0 = 5950\ \mathrm{g}m0​=5950 g
  • T0=285 KT_0 = 285\ \mathrm{K}T0​=285 K
  • T1=330 KT_1 = 330\ \mathrm{K}T1​=330 K
  • cw=4.184 J/(g⋅K)c_w = 4.184\ \mathrm{J}/(\mathrm{g}\cdot\mathrm{K})cw​=4.184 J/(g⋅K)

Input Format

Let the calculated average power consumption be A1 WA_1\ \mathrm{W}A1​ W. Find the integer that is 10 times the value of A1A_1A1​, and enter that natural number.
