In the below experiment the wire moves throught the ice slab. However the ice slab does not break.
Why ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

(i) The melting point of ice becomes lower than `0^(@)C` due to the appliced pressure by the wire .
(iii) Once the pressure is removed , the water becomes ice agin. In the way the wire moves through the ice slab without breaking it .

Two currents- carrying wires may attract each other. In absence of other forces, the wires will move towards each other increasing the kinetic energy . Does it contradict the fact that the magnetic force cannot do any work and hence cannot increase the kinetic energy?

A cube of iron (density = 8000kg m^(-1) , specific heat capacity = 470g J kg^(-1)K^(-1) ) is heated to a high temperature and is placed on a larger block of ice at 0^(@)C . The cube melts the ice below it, displaces the water and sinks in the final equilibrium position its upper surface is just inside the ice. Calculate the initial temperature of the cube. Neglect any loss of heat outside the ice and the cube .The density of ice = 900 kg m^(-1) and the latent heat of fusion of ice = 3.36 xx 10^(5)J kg^(-1)
