उत्तर
Given:
Edge of the ice cube (a) = 1.0 cm
The water that is formed due to the melting of ice acquires a spherical surface.
In the absence of gravity, let the radius of the spherical surface be r.
Volume of ice cube = volume of spherical surface of water
\[\Rightarrow a^3 = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3 \]
\[ \Rightarrow r = \left[ \frac{3 a^3}{4\pi} \right]^{1/3}\]
Surface area of spherical water surface = 4πr2
\[= 4\pi \left[ \frac{3 a^3}{4\pi} \right]^{2/3} \]
\[ = \left( 36\pi \right)^{1/3} {\text{ cm }}^2\]
