How long does it take for ice to double in thickness?

Click For Summary
Ice begins to form at 0 degrees Celsius when the air temperature is -10 degrees Celsius. The time required for 1 cm of ice to form is 7 hours. To determine the time needed for the ice thickness to increase from 1 cm to 2 cm, one must consider the rate of ice formation. A hint suggests that showing calculations or work is necessary for a serious response. The discussion emphasizes the importance of understanding the physics behind ice formation rates.

Sir,
Ice starts forming in a lake at 0 degree Celsius, when the atmospheric temperature is -10 degree Celsius. If the time taken for 1 cm of ice to be formed is 7 hrs, what is the time taken for the thickness of ice change from 1 cm to 2cm?
Can you please give a hint to solve this problem?
