An ice cube of dimensions
60 cm×50 cm×20 cm is placed in an insulation box of wall thickness
1 cm. The box keeping the ice cube at
0∘C of temperature is brought to a room of temperature
40∘C. The rate of melting of ice is approximately :
(Latent heat of fusion of ice is
3.4×105 J kg−1 and thermal conducting of insulation wall is
0.05Wm−1∘C−1 )
