A layer of ice of thickness y is on the surface of a lake. The air is at a constant temperature `-theta^@C` and the ice water interface is at `0^@C`. Show that the rate at which the thickness increases is given by
` (dy)/(dt) = (Ktheta)/(Lrhoy)`
where, K is the thermal conductivity of the ice, L the latent heat of fusion and `rho` is the density of the ice.
