in a direction which makes an angle of 75 with the vertical
axis. At some point on its trajectory, the firecracker split into two identical pieces in such a way that one
piece falls 27 m far from the shooting point. Assuming that all trajectories are contained in the same plane,
how far will the other piece fall from the shooting point ? (Take g = 10 ms

70. 150 g of ice is mixed with 100 g of water at temperature 80C. The latent heat of ice is 80 cal/g and the
specific heat of water is 1 cal/g-C. Assuming no heat loss to the environment, the amount of ice which does
not melt is :
150 g - i 80C l-iln 100 g - l-ii ini r| i ^n +-i 80 cal/g nii i

Sol. Heat given by water = 100 1 800 = 8000 cal
Heat taken by ice = 8000 cal = m 80
m = 100 gm
So amount of ice which does not melt = 150 100 = 50 gm.
