'Stem correction' in platinum resistance thermometers is eliminated by the use of

The resistances of the platinum wire of a platinum resistance thermometer at the ice point and steam point are $8 \Omega$ and $10 \Omega$ respectively. After inserting in a hot bath of temperature $400^{\circ} C$,the resistance of the platinum wire is: (in $Omega$)

$A$ 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 $L = 80\, cal/g = 80 \times 10^3\, cal/kg$)

$A$ thermocouple develops $40\,\mu V/K$. If the hot and cold junctions are at $40\,^{\circ}C$ and $20\,^{\circ}C$ respectively,then the emf developed by a thermopile using $150$ such thermocouples in series shall be ............... $mV$.

Two different liquids of same mass are kept in two identical vessels,which are placed in a freezer that extracts heat from them at the same rate,causing each liquid to transform into a solid. The schematic figure below shows the temperature $T$ versus time $t$ plot for the two materials. We denote the specific heat of materials in the liquid (solid) states to be $C_{L1}$ $(C_{S1})$ and $C_{L2}$ $(C_{S2})$,respectively. Choose the correct option given below.

Heat needed to convert $1 \ kg$ of ice at $0^{\circ} C$ to steam at $100^{\circ} C$ is
