In 1986, an enormous iceberg broke away from the Ross Ice Shelf in Antarctica. It was an approximately rectangular prism 160 km long, 40.0 kin wide, and 250 m thick. (a) What is the mass of this iceberg, given that the density of ice is 917 kg/m3? (b) How much heat transfer (in joules) is needed to melt it? (c) How many years would it take sunlight alone to melt ice this thick, if the ice absorbs an average of 100 W/m2, 12.00 h per day?
Case Study When a constant-volume thermometer is in thermal contact with a substance whose temperature is lower than the triple point of water, how does the right tube in Figure 19.22 need to be moved? Explain. FIGURE 19.22 1 Gas in the constant-volume gas thermometer is at Ti, and the mercury in the manometer is at height hi above the gasmercury boundary. 2 The thermometer is placed in thermal contact with an object, and its temperature increases. The increased temperature increases the gas volume. 3 By raising the right-hand tube of the mercury manometer, the gas volume is restored to its original size. The mercury is now at hi + h above the gasmercury boundary. This increase in height is a result of the increase in gas temperature and pressure.
A lake is covered with ice that is 2.0 cm thick. The temperature of the ambient air is 20C. Find the rate of thickening of ice. Assume the thermal conductivity of ice is 200.0 W/(m K), the density of ice is 9.0 102 kg/m3, and the latent heat of fusion is 3.33 105 J/kg.
(a) Calculate the rate of heat conduction through a double-paned window that has a 150-m2 area and is made of two panes of 0.800 cm-thick glass separated by a 1.00 cm air gap. The inside surface temperature is 15.0 C, while that on the outside is 10.0 OC. (Hint: There are identical temperature drops across the two glass panes. First find these and then the temperature drop across the air gap. This problem ignores the increased heat transfer in the air gap due to convection.) (b) Calculate the rate of heat conduction through a 1.60-cm-thick window of the same area and with the same temperatures. Compare your answer with that for part (a).

(c) How many years would it take sunlight alone to melt ice this thick, if the ice absorbs an average of 100W/m2, 12.00 h per day?
The tallest building in Chicago is the Willis Building (formerly the Sears Tower), which reaches 527 m including the antenna. The lowest and highest temperatures recorded in Chicago so far were 33.0C (27F) and 44.0C (111F), respectively. If we assume the building is a steel structure, what is the difference in the height of the building at these two extreme temperatures? The coefficient of linear expansion for steel is 13.0 106 C1.
