Question

Ice has formed on a shallow pond, and a steady state has been reached, with the air above the ice at $-5.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ and the bottom of the pond at $4.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. If the total depth of ice $+$ water is $1.4 \mathrm{~m}$, how thick is the ice? (Assume that the thermal conductivities of ice and water are $0.40$ and $0.12 \mathrm{cal} / \mathrm{m} \cdot \mathrm{C}^{\circ} \cdot \mathrm{s}$, respectively.)

Name: Ice has formed on a shallow pond, and a steady state has been reached, with the air above the ice at -5.0^∘C and the bottom of the pond at 4.0^∘C. If the total depth of ice + water is 1.4 m, how thick is the ice? (Assume that the thermal conductivities of ice and water are 0.40 and 0.12 cal / m·C^∘·s, respectively.)
