The heat lost by water in going from 20 °C to 0°C,
Q1 = Msw ∆T = \(\frac{M}{1000}\) × 4.2 × 103 × (20) = 84M J
Now, heat required to convert m g of ice into water...
(A) 136 km
When the piece of ice falls from the height h, it possesses potential energy, mgh.
This P.E. is converted to heat energy.
∴ Q = mgh
But only \(\frac{1^{th}}{4}\) of it is absorbed...
