Initially, the tension in the string is 0.080 N, the temperature of the water is 20 °C, and the temperature of the ice and the aluminum ball is 0 °C. One end of a light string is attached to a small aluminum ball inserted into a chunk of ice of mass I M i SB 0 sb = 0.100 kg. The remaining ice and the small aluminum ball continue in thermal equilibrium. [Extracted from the article]
