  • question_answer
    Ice starts forming in a lake with water at \[0{}^\circ C\]when the atmospheric temperature is \[-10{}^\circ C\]. If the time taken for the first 1 cm of ice to be formed is 7 hours, then the time taken for the thickness of ice to change from 1 cm to 2 cm is

    A) 7 hours         

    B)        14 hours

    C) 21 hours    

    D)        3.5 hours

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] Since no heat flows through me central rod, temperature at the ends of the central rod will be same. So, it will form a wheatstone like network. So.\[\frac{{{K}_{1}}}{{{K}_{2}}}=\frac{{{K}_{3}}}{{{K}_{4}}}\Rightarrow {{k}_{1}}{{k}_{4}}={{k}_{2}}{{k}_{3}}\]
