    An ice cube of dimensions $60\,cm \times 50\,cm \times 20\,cm$ is placed in an insulation box of wall thickness $1\,cm$. The box keeping the ice cube at $0^{\circ}\,C$ of temperature is brought to a room of temperature $40^{\circ}\,C$. The rate of melting of ice is approximately. (Latent heat of fusion of ice is $3.4 \times 10^{5}\,J\,kg ^{-1}$ and thermal conducting of insulation wall is $0.05\,Wm ^{-10} C ^{-1}$ )
