Q108 / 180 · NEET 2016 (Phase 1) · Physics

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 3.4×105 J kg-1 and g=10 N kg-1)

  • A
    34  km
  • B
    544  km
  • Correct answer
    C
    136  km
  • D
    68  km

Solution

14mgh=mL

h=4Lg=4×3.4×10510=13.6×104

=136×103 m

=136 km

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
