Chapter 1, Problem 54P
Global warming will produce rising sea levels partly due to melting ice caps and partly due to the expansion of water as average ocean temperatures rise. To get some idea of the size of this effect, calculate the change in length of a column of water 1.00 km high for a temperature increase of 1.00 °C. Assume the column is not free to expand sideways. As a model of the ocean, that is a reasonable approximation, as only parts of the ocean very close to the surface can expand sideways onto land, and only to a limited degree. As another approximation, neglect the fact that ocean wan-ling is not uniform with depth.

A perfectly insulating cylindrical glass is partially full of water. At the top of the water is a uniform layer of ice. The temperature of the water is 0 ∘C,0 ∘C, and the temperature of the air above the ice is held fixed at −19.00 ∘C.−19.00 ∘C.
If the initial thickness of the ice layer is ?i=0.0950 m and the depth of the water below the ice is ?w=0.1050 m, how long, in hours, will it take for the rest of the water to freeze? Assume that there is no transfer of heat through the sides or bottom of the glass and that the ice layer can slide freely up and down the glass.
The latent heat of fusion of water is 3.33×105 J/kg, and the thermal conductivity of ice is 2.180 W/(m⋅∘C). The density of water near freezing is 1000.0 kg/m3, and the density of ice is 917.00 kg/m3.
