$A$ slab of stone of area $0.36\, m^2$ and thickness $0.1\, m$ is exposed on the lower surface to steam at $100^{\circ} C$. $A$ block of ice at $0^{\circ} C$ rests on the upper surface of the slab. In one hour $4.8\, kg$ of ice is melted. The thermal conductivity of the slab is .......... $J/m/s/^{\circ} C$ (Given latent heat of fusion of ice $= 3.36 \times 10^5\, J/kg$)

Three identical heat conducting rods are connected in series as shown in the figure. The rods on the sides have thermal conductivity $2K$ while that in the middle has thermal conductivity $K$. The left end of the combination is maintained at temperature $3T$ and the right end at $T$. The rods are thermally insulated from outside. In steady state,the temperature at the left junction is $T_1$ and that at the right junction is $T_2$. The ratio $T_1 / T_2$ is

Two containers have the same shape and wall thickness but are made of different materials. They are filled with the same amount of ice at $0^{\circ}C$. If the ice melts completely in $10$ minutes and $25$ minutes respectively,what is the ratio of the thermal conductivities of the materials of the containers?

In a steady state,the temperatures at the ends $A$ and $B$ of a $20\,cm$ long rod $AB$ are $100\,^{\circ}C$ and $0\,^{\circ}C$ respectively. The temperature of a point $C$ at a distance of $9\,cm$ from $A$ is....... $^{\circ}C$

Copper and iron rods of identical dimensions are coated with wax. The ratio of thermal conductivity of copper to iron is $10:9$. If one end of each rod is placed in hot water,the wax melts. Find the ratio of the lengths of the rods for which the wax melts at the same rate.
