It is known that wax contracts on solidification. If molten wax is taken in a large vessel and it is allowed to cool slowly,then

The top of a lake gets frozen at a place where the surrounding air is at a temperature of $-20\,^oC$. Then

Two different liquids of same mass are kept in two identical vessels,which are placed in a freezer that extracts heat from them at the same rate,causing each liquid to transform into a solid. The schematic figure below shows the temperature $T$ versus time $t$ plot for the two materials. We denote the specific heat of materials in the liquid (solid) states to be $C_{L1}$ $(C_{S1})$ and $C_{L2}$ $(C_{S2})$,respectively. Choose the correct option given below.

$A$ piece of ice falls from a height $h$ so that it melts completely. Only one-quarter of the heat produced is absorbed by the ice and all energy of ice gets converted into heat during its fall. The value of $h$ is (Latent heat of ice is $L = 3.4 \times 10^{5} \text{ J/kg}$ and $g = 10 \text{ N/kg}$) (in $\text{ km}$)

$A$ steel pendulum clock manufactured at $32^{\circ} C$ and working at $47^{\circ} C$ is nearly (Coefficient of linear expansion of steel $= 12 \times 10^{-6} /{ }^{\circ} C$)
