When $1\, g$ of water at $0^{\circ}C$ and $1 \times 10^5\, N/m^2$ pressure is converted into ice of volume $1.091\, cm^3$,the external work done will be (in $, J$)

The surface of the lake is at $2^{\circ} C$. The temperature of the bottom of the lake is ....... $^{\circ} C$.

The heat required to convert $1 \, g$ of ice at $0^{\circ}C$ into steam at $100^{\circ}C$ is (given $L_{f} = 80 \, cal/g$,$c_{w} = 1 \, cal/g^{\circ}C$,$L_{v} = 536 \, cal/g$):

$A$ piece of ice (heat capacity = $2100 \text{ J kg}^{-1} \text{ }^\circ\text{C}^{-1}$ and latent heat = $3.36 \times 10^5 \ J kg^{-1}$) of mass $m$ grams is at $-5^oC$ at atmospheric pressure. It is given $420 \ J$ of heat so that the ice starts melting. Finally, when the ice-water mixture is in equilibrium, it is found that $1 \ gm$ of ice has melted. Assuming there is no other heat exchange in the process, the value of $m$ is ...... $gm$.

$A$ clock pendulum having a coefficient of linear expansion $\alpha = 9 \times 10^{-7} /^{\circ}C$ has a period of $0.5 \ s$ at $20^{\circ}C$. If the clock is used in a climate where the temperature is $30^{\circ}C$,how much time does the clock lose in each oscillation? (Assume $g$ is constant)
