Having lost power in the storm I decide to boil 0.4 kg of water for my coffee by shaking it in a thermos flask

Suppose that I use tap water at 5�C and that the water falls 40cm each shake, and I shake it 30 times per minute. Neglecting any loss of thermal energy by the flask, how long must I shake the flask untill the water reaches 100�C
