Solution Summary
Calculates the height from which a block of ice is dropped so that the energy obtained would be enough to melt the block and raise the temp of the water to 50 C.
Solution Preview
To melt the block and raise the temp of water to 50 C we need to supply latent heat to melt the block and then to raise it from a temperature of 0 degrees Celsius to 50 degrees celsius
We assume that the block of ice is at a temperature of 0 degrees Celsius
Let the mass of the block be m Kg
The specific latent heat of fusion of ice at 0 ºC, is 334 kJ.kg-1. ...
