The top of a lake gets frozen at a place where the surrounding air is at a temperature of $-20\,^oC$. Then

  • A
    The temperature of the layer of water in contact with the lower surface of the ice block will be at $0\,^oC$ and that at the bottom of the lake will be $4\,^oC$
  • B
    The temperature of water below the lower surface of ice will be $4\,^oC$ right up to the bottom of the lake
  • C
    The temperature of the water below the lower surface of ice will be $0\,^oC$ right up to the bottom of the lake
  • D
    The temperature of the layer of water immediately in contact with the lower surface of ice will be about $-20\,^oC$ and that of water at the bottom will be $0\,^oC$

$A$ block of steel of mass $2 \,kg$ slides down a rough inclined plane of inclination $\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{3}{5}\right)$ at a constant speed. Assuming that the mechanical energy lost due to friction is used to increase the temperature of the block, calculate the rise in temperature of the block as it slides through $80 \,cm$. (Specific heat capacity of steel $= 420 \,J kg^{-1} K^{-1}$ and acceleration due to gravity $= 10 \,ms^{-2}$) (in $^{\circ} C$)

Calculate the amount of heat (in calories) required to convert $5\,g$ of ice at $0^{\circ}C$ to steam at $100^{\circ}C$.

Heat is being supplied at a constant rate to a sphere of ice which is melting at the rate of $0.1 \,g/s$. It melts completely in $100 \,s$. The rate of rise of temperature of the resulting water thereafter will be ............ $^{\circ}C/s$.

The heat extracted out of $x \ \text{g}$ of water initially at $50^\circ \text{C}$ to cool it down to $0^\circ \text{C}$ is sufficient to evaporate $(1000 - x) \ \text{g}$ of water also initially at $50^\circ \text{C}$. The value of $x$ (closest integer) is . . . . . . . (Take latent heat of water $L = 2256 \ \text{kJ/kg}$, specific heat capacity of water $c = 4200 \ \text{J/kg}\cdot \text{K}$)
