$A$ large cylindrical rod of length $L$ is made by joining two identical rods of copper and steel of length $(\frac{L}{2})$ each. The rods are completely insulated from the surroundings. If the free end of the copper rod is maintained at $100\,^oC$ and that of the steel rod at $0\,^oC$,then the temperature of the junction is........$^oC$ (Thermal conductivity of copper is $9$ times that of steel).

One end of a copper rod of uniform cross-section and of length $3.1 \ m$ is kept in contact with ice at $0^{\circ}C$ and the other end with water at $100^{\circ}C$. At what point along its length should a temperature of $200^{\circ}C$ be maintained so that in steady state,the mass of ice melting is equal to the mass of steam produced in the same interval of time? Assume that the whole system is insulated from the surroundings. Latent heat of fusion of ice and vaporisation of water are $80 \ cal/g$ and $540 \ cal/g$ respectively.
