    Explanation:

    From the question,

    The potential energy of the bird = heat gained by the water in the fish tank.

    mgh = cm' (Δt) ... Equation 1

    Where m = mass of the bird, g = acceleration due to gravity, h = height, c = specific heat capacity of water, m' = mass of water, Δt = rise in temperature of water.

    make Δt the subject of the equation

    Δt = mgh/cm' ... Equation 2

    Given: m = 1 kg, h = 40 m, m' = 50.5 kg

    constant: g = 9.8 m/s², c = 4200 J/kg. K

    Substitute into equation 2

    Δt = 1 (40) (9.8) / (50.5*4200)

    Δt = 392/212100

    Δt = 0.00185 °C
