Two rods, one made of copper and the other made of steel, of the same length and same cross-sectional area are joined together. The thermal conductivity of copper and steel are \(385~\text{Js}^{-1}\text{K}^{-1}\text{m}^{-1}\) and \(50~\text{Js}^{-1}\text{K}^{-1}\text{m}^{-1}\) respectively. The free ends of copper and steel are held at \(100^\circ \text{C}\) and \(0^\circ \text{C}\) respectively. The temperature at the junction is, nearly:
1. \(12^\circ \text{C}\) 2. \(50^\circ \text{C}\)
3. \(73^\circ \text{C}\) 4. \(88.5^\circ \text{C}\)

The quantities of heat required to raise the temperature of two solid copper spheres of radii \(r_1\) and \(r_2\) \((r_1=1.5~r_2)\) through \(1~\text{K}\) are in the ratio:

1. \(\dfrac{9}{4}\) 2. \(\dfrac{3}{2}\)
3. \(\dfrac{5}{3}\) 4. \(\dfrac{27}{8}\)

A deep rectangular pond of surface area \(A\), containing water (density = \(\rho,\) specific heat capacity = \(s\)), is located in a region where the outside air temperature is at a steady value of \(-26^{\circ}\text{C}\). The thickness of the ice layer in this pond at a certain instant is \(x\). Taking the thermal conductivity of ice as \(k\), and its specific latent heat of fusion as \(L\), the rate of increase of the thickness of the ice layer, at this instant, would be given by:

1. \(\dfrac{26k}{x\rho L-4s}\) 2. \(\dfrac{26k}{x^2\rho L}\)
3. \(\dfrac{26k}{x\rho L}\) 4. \(\dfrac{26k}{x\rho L+4s}\)

Two rods \(A\) and \(B\) of different materials are welded together as shown in the figure. Their thermal conductivities are \(K_1\) and \(K_2.\) The thermal conductivity of the composite rod will be:
             

1. \(\dfrac{3(K_1+K_2)}{2}\) 2. \(K_1+K_2\)
3. \(2(K_1+K_2)\) 4. \(\dfrac{(K_1+K_2)}{2}\)
