Three rods made of the same material and having the same cross-sectional area but different lengths $10\, cm, 20\, cm$,and $30\, cm$ are joined as shown. The temperature of the junction is ......... $^oC$.

Two slabs have thicknesses $d_{1}$ and $d_{2}$. Their thermal conductivities are $K_{1}$ and $K_{2}$ respectively. They are in series. The free ends of the combination of these two slabs are kept at temperatures $\theta_{1}$ and $\theta_{2}$. Assume $\theta_{1} > \theta_{2}$. The temperature $\theta$ of their common junction is

$A$ metal rod of length $10 \text{ cm}$ and area of cross-section $2.8 \times 10^{-4} \text{ m}^2$ is covered with a non-conducting substance. One end of it is maintained at $80^{\circ} \text{C}$,while the other end is put in ice at $0^{\circ} \text{C}$. It is found that $20 \text{ g}$ of ice melts in $5 \text{ min}$. The thermal conductivity of the metal in $\text{J s}^{-1} \text{ m}^{-1} \text{ K}^{-1}$ is (Latent heat of ice is $80 \text{ cal g}^{-1}$.)

In the Arctic region,hemispherical houses called Igloos are made of ice. It is possible to maintain a temperature inside an Igloo as high as $20^{\circ} C$ because

$A$ thermocol box has a total wall area (including the lid) of $1.0 \,m^2$ and wall thickness of $3 \,cm$. It is filled with ice at $0^{\circ} C$. If the average temperature outside the box is $30^{\circ} C$ throughout the day, the amount of ice that melts in one day is (Given: $K_{\text{thermocol}} = 0.03 \,W/mK$, $L_{\text{fusion(ice)}} = 3.00 \times 10^5 \,J/kg$) (in $\,kg$)

In an $Ingen-Hauz$ experiment,the wax melts on two rods up to lengths of $10 \ cm$ and $25 \ cm$ respectively. If the two rods are made of different materials,what is the ratio of their thermal conductivities?
