Ice starts forming in lake with water at ${0^o}C$ and when the atmospheric temperature is $ - {10^o}C$. If the time taken for $1 \;cm$ of ice be $7$ hours, then the time taken for the thickness of ice to change from $1\; cm$ to $2\; cm$ is

(d) $t = \frac{{\rho L}}{{2K\theta }}(x_1^2 - x_2^2)$

==>$t \propto (x_2^2 - x_1^2)$

==> $\frac{t}{{t'}} = \frac{{(x_2^2 - x_1^2)}}{{(x{'_2}^2 - x{'_1}^2)}}$

==> $\frac{7}{{t'}} = \frac{{({1^2} - {0^2})}}{{({2^2} - {1^2})}}$

==> $t' = 21\,hours$

    The 'Kangri' is an earthen pot used to stay warm in Kashmir during the winter months. Assume that the 'Kangri' is spherical and of surface area $7 \times 10^{-2} \,m ^{2}$. It contains $300 g$ of a mixture of coal, wood and leaves with calorific value of $30 \,kJ / g$ (and provides heat with $10 \%$ efficiency). The surface temperature of the 'Kangri' is $60^{\circ} C$ and the room temperature is $0^{\circ} C$. Then, a reasonable estimate for the duration $t$ (in h) that the 'Kangri' heat will last is (take the 'Kangri' to be a black body)

    A small object is placed at the center of a large evacuated hollow spherical container. Assume that the container is maintained at $0 K$. At time $t =0$, the temperature of the object is $200 K$. The temperature of the object becomes $100 K$ at $t = t _1$ and $50 K$ at $t = t _2$. Assume the object and the container to be ideal black bodies. The heat capacity of the object does not depend on temperature. The ratio $\left( t _2 / t _1\right)$ is. . . . .
