(ii) At Y?

उत्तर
The layer at the top level is ice so its temperature is therefore 0°C and temperature at every layer of water below ice increases by 1°C
(i) At X = 1°C since it is the first layer below the ice
(ii) At Y = 4°C since it is the fourth layer below ice

The amount of water vapour in air is determined in terms of its ______.
Explain the following:
In cold regions in winter, the rocks crack due to anomalous expansion of water.
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.

Draw a graph to show the variation in density of water with temperature in the range from 0°C to 10°C.
