A lead ball at 30C is dropped from a height of 6.0 km. The ball gets heated due to air resistance,
and it completely melts just before reaching the ground. The molten substance falls slowly on the
ground. Specific heat capacity of lead is 126 J/kgC, and melting point is 330C. Assuming
that loss in mechanical energy is used to heat the ball, the latent heat of lead would be
