    Physics Practice: Heat Transfer (Mock Test 4 - Expert)

    1. Expert Analysis: Why do ice cubes melt faster when salt is sprinkled on them, even if the surrounding temperature is below 0°C?

    2. Clinical Logic: In a "Cryosurgery" procedure, why is liquid nitrogen used to destroy abnormal tissues?

    3. Data-based: A metal rod of length $100 \text{ cm}$ is heated from $20^\circ\text{C}$ to $120^\circ\text{C}$. If $\alpha = 1.2 \times 10^{-5} \text{ } ^\circ\text{C}^{-1}$, the increase in length is:
