AI Thread Summary
To determine the time needed for a 3-ton ice cube measuring 1.5m on each side to melt at an average temperature of 6.2°C, one must consider the heat transfer involved in melting ice. The presence of two golden bars within the ice cube may affect the melting rate due to their thermal conductivity. Calculations should include the specific heat of ice, the latent heat of fusion, and the heat transfer from the surrounding environment. Participants in the discussion emphasize the importance of showing work to receive assistance. The user expresses urgency for help due to an upcoming exam.

Help...melting ice cube.

Homework Statement



How much time is needed for an ice cube ((1.5x1.5x1.5)m, 3tons of mass with two golden bars within an ice cube to melt. Average temerature of the month is 6.2 ˙C

Thank you very much!

Welcome to the forums. Please note that you must show some work before we can help you with homework problems. So, what have you done thus far?
 
I would gladly show some work in the near future, but I need some help fast, as soon as possible. Sorry if I trouble you.
Thanks for every help I receive!
I will return the help when my exam month passes.
 

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...

Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'

Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
