Calculating Object's Fall from Frozen Blocks

[Seb97]

Der is 2 rectangle blocks of ice at a temp of -6. One is placed on top of the other. ie they are frozen together and they are not perfectly flush.
And object is placed inside the top block. I have 2 calculate when this object hits the ground.
My question is will the top block slide off at some point. and is there a way to predict this.

More info
The weight of the object isn't of any real concern. It was frozen along with the water. Eg the object was palced in water held by stings and then frozen. To be precise the block is about 60cm inheight 80cm width and it is placed on another block with the same demension and kept in a freezer The object is roughly 25cm from the bottom and is 15 from the top(in th first block) . They are then takin out and left in air at about 10 degrees. The 2 blocks are placed on a platform of about 120cm. I need 2 calculate when will this object hit the ground for the first time. It does not need to be exact but I am trying 2 predict how it will work.
Thanking You

It is difficult to predict when the top block will slide off since there are many variables to consider, such as the type of surface the blocks are on and the amount of friction between the two blocks. However, assuming the blocks are placed on a perfectly flat, non-slippery surface, then it is likely that the top block will slide off at some point due to the temperature difference between the two blocks. As the top block warms up, it will expand slightly which could cause it to become unbalanced and eventually slide off. It is impossible to predict when exactly this will happen, but it will likely occur after several minutes or hours.

I would approach this problem by first gathering all of the necessary information and variables involved. From the given information, I can determine that the experiment involves two frozen blocks of ice at -6 degrees Celsius, with one placed on top of the other. An object is then placed inside the top block, and the goal is to calculate when it will hit the ground.

To predict this, we must consider factors such as the weight and dimensions of the blocks, as well as the temperature and conditions in which they are placed. The fact that the object was frozen along with the water and is now placed in air at 10 degrees Celsius may affect the rate at which the ice melts and the object falls.

Additionally, the surface on which the blocks are placed and the friction between the blocks may also play a role in determining when the top block will slide off. The weight and placement of the object inside the top block may also impact the rate of sliding.

To accurately predict when the object will hit the ground, we would need to know the precise dimensions and weight of the blocks, as well as the temperature and conditions in which they are placed. The experiment could also be repeated multiple times to gather more data and improve the accuracy of the prediction.

In conclusion, predicting when the object will hit the ground in this experiment involves considering various factors and variables. With more information and data, we can make a more accurate prediction.
