Give reasons:
Water pipes burst in severe winters.
Explain the following:
In cold regions in winter, the rocks crack due to anomalous expansion of water.
On what basis and how will you determine whether air is saturated with vapour or not?
Consider the situation of the previous problem. Assume that the temperature of the water at the bottom of the lake remains constant at 4°C as the ice forms on the surface (the heat required to maintain the temperature of the bottom layer may come from the bed of the lake). The depth of the lake is 1.0 m. Show that the thickness of the ice formed attains a steady state maximum value. Find this value. The thermal conductivity of water = 0.50 W m−1°C−1. Take other relevant data from the previous problem.
How do fishes survive in frozen lakes?
Explain, why are the exposed water pipes lagged with straw during severe winter?
Write scientific reason.
Fish can survive even in frozen ponds in cold regions.
Write scientific reason.
