Melted lead
From what height must a piece of lead be dropped if the heat
generated on impact with the ground is just sufficient to melt
it? Assume that all the heat is confined to the lead.
Initial temperature of lead = 20 °C
Melting point of lead = 327 °C
Specific heat capacity of lead
= 0.125 × 103 J kg-1 °C-1
21 x 103 J kg-
Latent heat of fusion of lead
