The mass of ice, m=ρAL=103×10−4×1=10−1kg,
Energy required to melt the ice, =mSΔT+mL,
⇒i2Rt=mSΔT+mL
⇒(1)2×103×t=[(103×1×10−4)×2000×10]+[(103×1×10−4)×330×103]⇒(1)2×103×t=3.53×104⇒t=35.3s
Due to cold weather, a 1m water pipe of cross-sectional area 1cm2 is filled with ice at −10∘C. Resistive heating is used to melt the ice. Current of 0.5A is passed through 4kΩ resistance. Assuming that all the heat produced is used for melting, what is the minimum time required?
(Given latent heat of fusion for water/ice=3.33×105Jkg−1, specific heat of ice =2\times {10}^{3}J{\mathrm{kg}}^{-1}^{\circ}{C}^{-1} and density of ice =103kgm−3)

An ideal gas at pressure $P$ and temperature $T$ is expanding such that $PT^3 = $ constant. The coefficient of volume expansion of the gas is _______.
In the following $p-V$ diagram the equation of state along the curved path is given by $(V-2)^{2}=4 a p$ where $a$ is a constant. The total work done in the closed path is 
The r.m.s. speed of oxygen molecules at $47^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ is equal to that of the hydrogen molecules kept at $\_\_\_\_$ ${ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. (Mass of oxygen molecule/mass of hydrogen molecule $=32 / 2$)
A gas of certain mass filled in a closed cylinder at a pressure of 3.23 kPa has temperature $50^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. The gas is now heated to double its temperature. The modified pressure is $\_\_\_\_$ Pa. Note: Volume is constant.
A cylindrical tube $A B$ of length $l$, closed at both ends contains an ideal gas of 1 mol having molecular weight $M$. The tube is rotated in a horizontal plane with constant angular velocity $\omega$ about an axis perpendicular to $A B$ and passing through the edge at end $A$, as shown in the figure. If $P_{A}$ and $P_{B}$ are the pressures at $A$ and $B$ respectively, then (Consider the temperature is same at all points in the tube)
