Three rods made of the same material and having the same cross-section are joined as shown in the figure. Each rod is of the same length. The left and right ends are kept at $0^{\circ}C$ and $90^{\circ}C$ respectively. The temperature of the junction of the three rods will be ...... $^{\circ}C$.

If the circle $x^2+y^2+8x-4y+c=0$ touches the circle $x^2+y^2+2x+4y-11=0$ externally and cuts the circle $x^2+y^2-6x+8y+k=0$ orthogonally,then $k=$

An object is projected with a velocity of $20 \ m/s$ making an angle of $45^{\circ}$ with the horizontal. The equation for the trajectory is $h = Ax - Bx^2$,where $h$ is the height,$x$ is the horizontal distance,and $A$ and $B$ are constants. The ratio $A:B$ is $(g = 10 \ m/s^2)$.
