Ice (\(0^{\circ}\)C) is kept in an insulated reservoir with an opening that is covered at the top with a cloth. When a black cloth \((B)\) is placed at the top, the ice melts at \(2\) g/\(3\) min. When an ordinary cloth \((G)\) is placed, the rate of melting is \(2\) g /\(5\) min. The emissivity of \(G\) is: (assuming that \(B\) behaves as a blackbody)
                       
1. \(0.6\) 2. \(0.3\)
3. \(0.4\) 4. \(0.5\)

A calorimeter contains \(270\) g of ice at \(0^\circ\)C (specific latent heat \(80\) cal/g). Steam (specific latent heat \(540\) cal/g) at \(100^\circ\)C is continuously passed through it, and the excess steam is allowed to escape. Assume negligible loss of heat to the surroundings, except due to excess steam being allowed to escape. Also, ignore the heat capacity of the calorimeter. The final mass of water in the calorimeter is:
1. \(40\) g
2. \(90\) g
3. \(310\) g
4. \(360\) g

A metallic rod of length \(l\) (at \(0^\circ\text C\)) expands by \(\Delta l\) when its temperature is increased by \(100^\circ\text C.\) This rod is kept on a surface with its left end maintained at \(0^\circ\text C,\) and its right end at \(100^\circ\text C.\) The rod is insulated along its length, so heat can only be exchanged at the ends. The length of the rod is:
               
1. \(l+\Delta l\) 2. \(l+\dfrac{\Delta l}{2}\)
3. \(l+\dfrac{\Delta l}{4}\) 4. \(l+\dfrac{3\Delta l}{4}\)

2. increases by a factor of \(2\)
3. remains unchanged
4. decreases by a factor of \(2\)
