An ice cube of dimensions 60 cm x 50 cm x 20 cm is placed in an insulation box of wall thickness 1 cm. The box keeping the ice cube at 0°C of temperature is brought to a room of temperature 40°C. The rate of melting of ice is approximately: (Latent heat of fusion of ice is 3.4 x 10 5 J kg -1 and thermal conducting of insulation wall is 0.05 Wm -1 0 C -1 )
