$A$ stationary object at $4^{\circ}C$ and weighing $3.5\, kg$ falls from a height of $2000\, m$ on a snow mountain at $0^{\circ}C$. If the temperature of the object just before hitting the snow is $0^{\circ}C$ and the object comes to rest immediately $(g = 10\, m/s^2)$ and (latent heat of ice $= 3.5 \times 10^5\, J/kg$),then the amount of ice that will melt is:

  • A
    $2\, kg$ of ice
  • B
    $200\, g$ of ice
  • C
    $20\, g$ of ice
  • D
    $2\, g$ of ice

Consider two thermometers $T_1$ and $T_2$ of equal length,which can be used to measure temperature over the range $\theta_1$ to $\theta_2$. $T_1$ contains mercury as the thermometric liquid,while $T_2$ contains bromine. The volumes of the two liquids are the same at the temperature $\theta_1$. The volumetric coefficients of expansion of mercury and bromine are $18 \times 10^{-5} \, K^{-1}$ and $108 \times 10^{-5} \, K^{-1}$,respectively. The increase in length of each liquid is the same for the same increase in temperature. If the diameters of the capillary tubes of the two thermometers are $d_1$ and $d_2$,respectively,then the ratio $d_1: d_2$ is closest to:
