Mass of ice eaten by the man per second.

$m =\frac{100}{60}=\frac{5}{3}=\frac{5}{3} g / m$

Latent heat of ice,

$L =80 cal / g$

Therefore, energy required per second by the man in eating the ice, i.e., power developed by the man,

$= mL =\frac{5}{3} \times 80 cal / s$

$=\frac{50 \times 80}{3} \times 4.2 J / s =560 W$

During summers in India, one of the common practice to keep cool is to make ice balls of crushed ice, dip it in flavoured sugar syrup and sip it. For this a stick is inserted into crushed ice and is squeezed in the palm to make it into the ball. Equivalently in winter, in those areas where it snows, people make snow balls and throw around. Explain the formation of ball out of crushed ice or snow in the light of $p\to T$ diagram of water.

The figure given below shows the cooling curve of pure wax material after heating. It cools from $A$ to $B$ and solidifies along $BD$. If $L$ and $C$ are respective values of latent heat and the specific heat of the liquid wax, the ratio $L/C$ is

A stationary object at $4°C$ and weighing $3.5\, kg$ falls from a height of $2000\, m$ on a snow mountain at  $0°C$. If the temperature of the object just before hitting the snow is $0°C$ and the object comes to rest immediately $(g = 10\,m/{s^2})$ and (latent heat of ice$ = 3.5 \times {10^5}\,joule/\sec $), then the object will melt
