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

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

On applying pressure the melting ponit ice of reduces and it melts. As the wire moves down, the pressure is removed the melting point comes back to normal and water freezes back to ice again. Thus, the ice slab does not breaks .

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)
