Calorie
Question

An ice block of mass 8 kg is dragged along a rough horizontal surface (=0.4) uniformly through 42 m. If all the heat produced is completely absorbed by block then mass of ice that melts is ( L= 80 cal/gm, g = 10m/s2)

Moderate
Solution

work done against frictional force = heat produced for melting

μMgs=JmL m is the mass of ice melt and L is the latent heat of fusion of ice 0.4×8×10×42=4200×m×80 m=4×10-3 kg=4 gm
