An ice box is used to keep food cool,having a surface area of $1 \, m^2$ and a thickness of $5.0 \, cm$. The thermal conductivity of the ice box material is $K = 0.01 \, J/(m \cdot s \cdot ^\circ C)$. The inside temperature is maintained at $0 \, ^\circ C$ and the outside temperature is $30 \, ^\circ C$. If the latent heat of fusion of ice is $334 \times 10^3 \, J/kg$,calculate the mass of ice that melts in one day.

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....... $^{\circ}C$

Two plates of equal area are placed in series. The ratios of their thicknesses and thermal conductivities are both $2:3$. The temperature of the outer surface of one plate is $100 ^\circ C$ and that of the other is $0 ^\circ C$. The temperature of the common surface is ....... $^\circ C$.
