$A$ block of ice with mass $m$ falls into a lake. After impact,a mass of ice $m/5$ melts. Both the block of ice and the lake have a temperature of $0^{\circ}C$. If $L$ represents the latent heat of fusion,the minimum distance the ice fell before striking the surface is

Match the following according to conversion by heat:

An experiment takes $10\, minutes$ to raise the temperature of water in a container from $0\,^oC$ to $100\,^oC$ and another $55\, minutes$ to convert it totally into steam by a heater supplying heat at a uniform rate. Neglecting the specific heat of the container and taking the specific heat of water to be $1\, cal/g\,^oC$,the heat of vaporization according to this experiment will be ........ $cal/g$.

Values for latent heat in Column-$I$ and its values are given in Column-$II$. Match the following:
Column-$I$ Column-$II$
