A cylindrical rod with one end in a steam chamber and the other end in ice results in melting of 0.1 gm of ice per second. If the rod is replaced by another with half the length and double the radius of the first and if the thermal conductivity of material of second rod is 14 that of first, the rate at which ice melts in gm/sec will be -
(1) 3.2               

(2) 1.6

(3) 0.2               

(4) 0.1

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