most people know that you can melt ice
just by putting salt on
it salt decreases the melting point of
the ice meaning it'll melt faster what's
another way to decrease the melting
point of ice the answer is you apply
pressure to it tonight I want to do an
experiment on
regelation regelation means you apply
pressure to ice and so it turns into
water but when that pressure is removed
it turns back into ice
I have two pairs of 1.5 kg weights this
pair is joined by a bit of fishing line
and my other pair is joined by some
copper wire they're both the same
thickness now I'm going to put the
wire and the fishing line over this
block of ice and try to pull it through
the ice and I want you to make a
prediction which one will pass through
the ice first will it be the copper wire
or the fishing line or will they both
pass through at the same rate make your
prediction now you got about 5 seconds
left quick pick
one ah it's too
late
