Consider an ice cube of edge 1.0 cm kept in a gravity-free hall. Find the surface area of the water when the ice melts. Neglect the difference in densities of ice and water.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A, B, C
In the absence of gravilty the water which form due to melting of ice tens to acquire spereical surface.
so, `6a^3=(4/3)pir^3`
`rarr r=[(18a^3)/(4pi)]^(1/3)`
`So, surface area =4pir^2`
`=4pi[(18a^3)/(4pi)]^(2/3)`
`=(36pi)^(1/3)cm^2`
