A small pond of depth 0.5 m deep is exposed to a cold winter with outside temperature of 263 K . Thermal conductivity of ice is K=2.2Wm−1 K−1K=2.2 \mathrm{Wm}^{-1} \mathrm{~K}^{-1}, latent heat L=3.4×105Jkg−1L=3.4 \times 10^5 \mathrm{Jkg}^{-1} and density ρ=0.9×103kgm−3\rho=0.9 \times 10^3 \mathrm{kgm}^{-3}. Take the temperature of the pond to be 273 K . The time taken for the whole pond to freeze is about
