$A$ hailstone at $0^{\circ}C$ falls from a height of $1\, km$ on an insulating surface,converting the whole of its kinetic energy into heat. What part of it will melt? (Take $g = 10\, m/s^2$,$J = 4.2\, J/cal$,and latent heat of fusion of ice $L = 80\, cal/g = 80 \times 10^3\, cal/kg$)

  • A
    $\frac{1}{33}$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{8}$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{33} \times 10^{-4}$
  • D
    All of it will melt
