It is observed that when a very thin iron rod
with weights placed on its pan is placed on the
upper surface of the ice mass, whose vertical
section is show the diagram, the rod descends
by melting the ice, and the places where the rod
passes become ice again.

wire reaches the ground faster.
II. The higher the pressure, the lower the
melting point of the ice.
III. If the thickness of the wire is increased, the
wire reaches the ground faster.
