In a basic form its;
T=HoF∗m/P
Where T is the total time (seconds)
HoF is the heat of fusion of ice (335,000 J/kg) - constant
m is the mass of the ice (kg) (200Lbs = 90.7Kg)
P is the power delivered to the ice over time (Watts = Joules / Second)
Note: 200Lbs = 90.7Kg
So T= (335,000*90.7) / 500 = 60,769 seconds = 16H 52M 48S
