Two plates of equal area are placed in contact with each other. Their thicknesses are $2.0 \ cm$ and $5.0 \ cm$. The temperature of the outer surface of the first plate is $-20^{\circ}C$ and the temperature of the outer surface of the second plate is $20^{\circ}C$. If the ratio of their thermal conductivities is $2:5$,find the temperature of the contact surface in $^{\circ}C$.
