Explanation / Answer

From the given data

Mass of ice is given by =Density of ice*Volume of ice =917*131*103*37.7*103*211 =955.574*1012kg

The heat required for the mass is =Mass of ice*Lf =955.574*1012kg*335000 =320.117*1018J

now the time required to melt this ice is =320.117*1018J/conusmption energy 9.3*1019 =34.42 *10-1yrs =3.442syears
