$A$ 'thermacole' icebox is a cheap and an efficient method for storing small quantities of cooked food in summer in particular. $A$ cubical icebox of side $30 \,cm$ has a thickness of $5.0 \,cm$. If $4.0 \,kg$ of ice is put in the box,estimate the amount of ice (in $kg$) remaining after $6 \,h$. The outside temperature is $45 \,^{\circ}C$,and the coefficient of thermal conductivity of thermacole is $0.01 \,J \,s^{-1} \,m^{-1} \,K^{-1}$. Heat of fusion of water $= 335 \times 10^{3} \,J \,kg^{-1}$.
