An icebox made of 1.5cm thick styrofoam ...

An icebox made of 1.5cm thick styrofoam has dimensions `60cmxx60cmxx30cm`.It contains ice at `0^(@)C` and is kept in a room at `40^(@)C`. Find the rate at which the ice is melting. Latent heat of fusion of ice`=3.36xx10^(5)J kg^(-1)` . and thermal conductivity of styrofoam `=0.04Wm^(-1)C^(-1)` .
