Ice starts forming on a lake with water at 0^(@)C , when the atmospheric temperature is -6^(@)C . If the time taken for 1 cm of Ice to be formed is 5 hours, then time taken for thickness of ice to change from 1 cm to 2 cm is

A pond has an ice layer of thickness 3 cm. If K of ice is 0.005 CGS units, surface temperature of surroundings is -20^(@)C , density of ice is 0.9 gm/cc, the time taken for the thickness to increase by 1 cm is

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^(0)C to 4^(0)C is negative and above 4^(0)C it is positive. This behaviour of water shapes the freezing of lakes as the atmospheric temperature goes down and it has an extremely important effect on plant and animal life in lakes. Under fixed atmospheric conditions, if it takes 2 hr. to form a 1 cm thick layer of ice in a lake, time taken for the thickness of ice layer to grow further by 1 cm will be
