Answer

$50.3h$

Work Step by Step

We can find the required time as follows: $Q=mc_{water}\Delta t+mL_f$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $Q=(865Kg)[4186J/Kg.K(20^{\circ}C)+(33.5\times 10^4)J/Kg]$ $Q=3.62\times 10^8J$ Now $t=\frac{Q}{P}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $t=\frac{3.62\times 10^8J}{2000J/s}(\frac{1h}{3600s})$ $t=50.3h$
