An ice cube of edge a is placed in an empty cylindrical vessel of radius 2a. Find the edge (in cm) of ice cube when it just leaves the contact with the bottom assuming that ice melts uniformly maintaining its cubical shape. Take a = 12 pi cm (Ice is lighter than water)

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 .
