Q. No.Three rods made of the same material and having the same cross-section have been joined as shown in the figure. Each rod has the same length. The left and right ends are kept at \(0^{\circ}\text{C}~\text{and}~90^{\circ}\text{C},\) respectively. The temperature at the junction of the three rods will be:
1. \(45^{\circ}\text{C}\)
2. \(60^{\circ}\text{C}\)
3. \(30^{\circ}\text{C}\)
4. \(20^{\circ}\text{C}\)
The two ends of a metal rod are maintained at temperatures \(100~^\circ\text{C}\) and \(110~^\circ\text{C}.\) The rate of heat flow in the rod is found to be \(4.0\) J/s. If the ends are maintained at temperatures \(200~^\circ \text{C}\) and \(210 ~^\circ \text{C},\) the rate of heat flow will be:
1. \(44.0\) J/s
2. \(16.8\) J/s
3. \(8.0\) J/s
4. \(4.0\) J/s
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. | \(\dfrac{26k}{x\rho L+4s}\) |
A slab of stone with an area \(0.36~\text{m}^{2}\) and thickness of \(0.1~\text{m}\) is exposed on the lower surface to steam at \(100^\circ\text{C}.\) A block of ice at \(0^{\circ}\text{C}\) rests on the upper surface of the slab. In one hour \(4.8~\text{kg}\) of ice is melted. The thermal conductivity of the slab will be:
(Given latent heat of fusion of ice \(= 3.36\times10^{5}~\text{JKg}^{-1}\))

| 4. | None of the above. |
