Ice starts forming in lake with water at 0^(@)C and when the atmospheric temperature is -10^(@)C . If the time taken for 1 cm of ice be 7 hours. Find the time taken for the thickness of ice to change from 1 cm to 2 cm

Ice starts forming in a lake with water at 0^(@)C when the atmosphere temperature is -10^(@)C .If the time taken for first 1cm of ice be formed is 12 minute; the time taken for the thickness of the ice to change from 1cm to 2cm will be:

The top of a lake is frozen as the atmospheric temperature is -10^(@)C . The temperature at the bottom of the lake is most likely to be,

A lake surface is exposed to an atmosphere where the temperature is lt 0^(@)C . If the thickness of the ice layer formed on the surface grows form 2cm to 4cm in 1 hour. The atmospheric temperature, T_(a) will be- (Thermal conductivity of ice K = 4 xx 10^(-3) cal//cm//s//.^(@)C , density of ice = 0.9 gm//ice. Latent heat of fustion of ice = 80 cal//m . Neglect the change of density during the state change. Assume that the water below the ice has 0^(@) temperature every where)

On a winter day when the atmospheric temperature drops to -10^(@)C , ice forms on the surface of a lajke. (a) Calculate the rate of increases of thickness of the ice when 10cm of ice is already formed. (b) Calculate the total time taken in forming 10cm of ice. Assume that the temperature of the entire water reaches 0^(@)C before the ice starts forming. Density of water =1000kgm^(-3) , latent heat of fusion of ice =3.36xx10^(5)Jkg^(-1) and thermal conductivity of ice =1.7Wm^(-1) ^(@)C^(-1) . Neglect the expension of water on freezing.

Most substances contract on freezing . However, water does not belong to this category. We know that water expands on freezing. Further , coefficient of volume expansion of water in the temperature range from 0^(@)C to 4^(@)C is negative and above 4^(@)C it is positive . This behaviour of water shapes the freezing of lakes as the atmospheric temperature goes down and it is still above 4^(@)C . If the atmospheric temperature is below 0^(@)C and ice begins to form at t = 0 , thickness of ice sheet formed up to a time 't' will be directly proprotional to
