A faulty thermometer reads freezing point and boiling point of water as 5^(@) C and 95^(@) C . What is the correct value of temperature of a body if this thermometer reads it as 60^(@) C .

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

One end of a unifonn metal rod of length 100 cm is placed in ice and the other end is placed in boiling water. A point of the rod which is at a distance of 60 cm from the ice end is maintained at a constant temperature of 325^(@) C. If 2 g of water is converted into steam per second.-the mass of ice melted per second in steady state is (Latent heat of steam = 6.75 times latent heat of fusion of ice)
