The ratio of time taken by ice on the surface of ponds or lakes to become triple the thickness is

Ice has formed on a shallow pond, and a steady state has been reached, with the air above the ice at -5.0^(@)C and the bottom of the pond at 40^(@)C . If the total depth of ice + water is 1.4 m , (Assume that the thermal conductivities of ice and water are 0.40 and 0.12 cal//m C^(@)s , respectively.) The thickness of ice layer 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^(@)C to 4^(@)C is negative and above 4^(@)C it is positive . This behaviour of water shapes the freezing of lakes as the atmospheric temperature goes down and it is still above 4^(@)C . If the atmospheric temperature is below 0^(@)C and ice begins to form at t = 0 , thickness of ice sheet formed up to a time 't' will be directly proprotional to

Bottom of a lake is at 0^(@)C and atmospheric temperature is -20^(@)C . If 1 cm ice is formed on the surface in 24 h, then time taken to form next 1 cm of ice is

A block of ice with mass m falls into a lake. After impact, a mass of ice (m)/(5) melts. Both the block of ice and the lake have a temperature of 0^(@)C . If L represents the latent heat of fusion, the distance the ice falls before striking the surface is

If the depth of a lake is 10 m, and the temperature of surroundings is -10^@C and that of water at the bottom of the lake is 5^@C . The thermal conductivity of the Ice and water are K_f and K_w respectively. The depth of ice will be

A lake surface is exposed to an atmosphere where the temperature is lt 0^(@)C . If the thickness of the ice layer formed on the surface grows form 2cm to 4cm in 1 hour. The atmospheric temperature, T_(a) will be- (Thermal conductivity of ice K = 4 xx 10^(-3) cal//cm//s//.^(@)C , density of ice = 0.9 gm//ice. Latent heat of fustion of ice = 80 cal//m . Neglect the change of density during the state change. Assume that the water below the ice has 0^(@) temperature every where)

For same mass of water and ice, why ice floats over water? (A)solids have lesser density than liquids (B)it has open - cage like structure in which lesser molecules are packed per mL than water (C)ice is lighter than water (D) when ice is formed water molecules come closer and start floating.
