What do you understand by the anomalous expansion of water?
उत्तर
Anomalous expansion: A liquid that does not behave like a normal liquid on heating or cooling is said to have anomalous expansion. On heating or cooling, water does not behave like a normal liquid. The volume of water increases if we heat or cool it, provided initially the water is at 4°C.

A 50 kg man is running at a speed of 18 km h−1. If all the kinetic energy of the man can be used to increase the temperature of water from 20°C to 30°C, how much water can be heated with this energy?
Consider the situation of the previous problem. Assume that the temperature of the water at the bottom of the lake remains constant at 4°C as the ice forms on the surface (the heat required to maintain the temperature of the bottom layer may come from the bed of the lake). The depth of the lake is 1.0 m. Show that the thickness of the ice formed attains a steady state maximum value. Find this value. The thermal conductivity of water = 0.50 W m−1°C−1. Take other relevant data from the previous problem.
