A cylindrical rod with one end in a steam chamber and the outer end in ice results in melting of $0.1 \,\,gm$ of ice per second. If the rod is replaced by another with half the length and double the radius of the first and if the thermal conductivity of material of second rod is $1/4$ that of first, the rate at which ice melts is $gm/sec$ will be

If the earth suddenly stops revolving and all its rotational $KE$ is used up in raising its temperature and if $'s'$ is taken to be the specific heat of the earth's material, the rise of temperature of the earth will be : ( $R -$ radius of the earth and $\omega  =$ its angular velocity, $J =\,Joule$ constant)

If there are no heat losses, the heat released by the condensation of $x$ gm of steam at $100^o C$ into water at $100^o C$ can be used to convert $y$ gm of ice at $0^o C$ into water at $100^o C$. Then the ratio $y : x$ is nearly

The coefficient of apparent expansion of mercury in a glass vessel is  $153 × 10^{-6}{°C^{-1}}$ and in a steel vessel is $144 × 10^{-6}{°C^{-1}}$. If $\alpha$ for steel is $12 × 10^{-6}{°C^{-1}}$, then that of glass is

A lead bullet at $27\,^oC$ just melts when stopped by an obstacle. Assuming that $25\%$ of heat is absorbed by the obstacle, then the velocity of the bullet at the time of striking ........ $m/s$ ( $M. P.$ of lead $= 327\,^oC,$ specific heat of lead $= 0.03\,cal/g\,^oC,$ latent heat of fusion of lead $= 6\,cal/g$ and $J = 4.2\,joule/cal$ )
