$A$ sphere of ice at $0^{\circ}C$ having initial radius $R$ is placed in an environment having ambient temperature $> 0^{\circ}C$. The ice melts uniformly,such that the shape remains spherical. After a time $t$,the radius of the sphere has reduced to $r$. Assuming the rate of heat absorption is proportional to the surface area of the sphere at any moment,which graph best depicts $r(t)$?

$A$ mass $m$ of material exists in its solid state at its melting temperature $0^\circ C$. The following processes occur to the material:
Process-$1$: An amount of thermal energy $Q$ is added to the material, and $\frac{2}{3}$ of the material melts.
Process-$2$: An identical additional amount of thermal energy $Q$ is added to the material, and the material is now a liquid at $40^\circ C$.

$A$ beaker of height $H$ is made up of a material whose coefficient of linear thermal expansion is $3\alpha$. It is filled up to the brim by a liquid whose coefficient of thermal expansion is $\alpha$. If now the beaker along with its contents is uniformly heated through a small temperature $T$,the level of liquid will reduce by (given $\alpha T << 1$):
