A piece of ice falls from a height h so ...

A piece of ice falls from a height `h` so that it melts completely. Only one-quarter of the heat produced is absobed by the ice and all energy of ice gets converted into heat during its fall. The value of `h` is
[Latent heat of ice is `3.4 xx 10^(5) J//kg` and `g = 10 N//kg`]

A

34 km

B

544 km

C

136 km

D

68 km

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
The potential energy gets converted one quarter of it is absorbed by ice
`(mgh)/(4)=mL`
`h=(4L)/(g)=(4xx3.4xx10^5)/(10)=136` km
