Question

experiment of regelation

Answer 1

Regelation is the phenomenon of melting under pressure and refreezing when the pressure is reduced. Many sources state that regelation can be demonstrated by looping a fine wire around a block of ice, with a heavy weight attached to it.

Answer 2

$\Large \purple{ \boxed{ \boxed{ \mathscr{ \mid \ulcorner EXPERIMENT\: OF\: REGELATION \urcorner \mid }}}}$

$\underline{\underline{\huge\mathtt{REFER\: THE\: ATTACHMENT}}}$


❀ Take a slab of ice. Take a metallic wire and fix two blocks 5 kg each, at its ends. Put the wire over the ice slab as shown in the figure . You will observe that the wire passes through the ice slab.

❀ This happens due to the fact that just below the wire ice melts at lower temperature due to increase in pressure. When the wire has passed water above the wire freezes again.

❀ Thus the wire passes through the ice slab and and the slab does not split this phenomenon is Called $\Large \text{ Regelation}$
