$A$ copper rod of length $18 \ cm$ and a steel rod of length $6 \ cm$ are joined together to form a composite rod of uniform cross-section. The temperature of the free end of the copper rod is $100 \ ^\circ C$ and the temperature of the free end of the steel rod is $0 \ ^\circ C$. What is the temperature at the junction in $^\circ C$? (Thermal conductivity of copper is $9$ times that of steel. The rod is in a steady state.)
