An earthen pitcher used in summer cools water in it essentially by evaporation of water from its porous surface. If a pitcher carries $4 \,kg$ of water and the rate of evaporation is $20 \,g$ per hour,the temperature of water in it decreases by $\Delta T$ in two hours. The value of $\Delta T$ is close to ........... $^{\circ} C$ (ratio of latent heat of evaporation to specific heat of water is $540^{\circ} C$).

$A$ lead bullet of mass $50 \ g$ at a temperature of $30^{\circ}C$ is fired vertically upwards with a speed of $840 \ m/s$. When the bullet returns to the point of departure,it strikes a large block of ice at $0^{\circ}C$. How much ice (in $g$) will melt? (Specific heat of lead is $0.02 \ cal/g^{\circ}C$,latent heat of fusion of ice is $80 \ cal/g$,and assume all energy is used to melt the ice.)
