In an $Ingen-Hauz$ experiment,the wax melts on two rods up to lengths of $10 \ cm$ and $25 \ cm$ respectively. If the two rods are made of different materials,what is the ratio of their thermal conductivities?

$A$ composite slab is prepared with two different materials $A$ and $B$. The relation between their coefficients of thermal conductivity and thickness is given as $K_A = \frac{K_B}{2}$ and $X_A = 2 X_B$, respectively. If the temperatures of the outer faces of $A$ and $B$ are $75^{\circ} C$ and $50^{\circ} C$ respectively, what will be the temperature of the common surface (in $^{\circ} C$)?

Two spheres made of different materials have radii in the ratio $2:1$ and wall thicknesses in the ratio $1:4$. They are completely filled with ice. If the time taken to melt the ice completely in the larger sphere is $25 \ min$ and in the smaller sphere is $16 \ min$,then the ratio of the thermal conductivities of the materials of the larger and smaller spheres is ..........

Two sheets of thickness $d$ and $2d$ and the same area are touching each other on their faces. The temperatures $T_A$,$T_B$,and $T_C$ shown are in a geometric progression with a common ratio $r = 2$. Then,the ratio of the thermal conductivity of the thinner sheet to the thicker sheet is:

The ends $Q$ and $R$ of two thin wires,$PQ$ and $RS$,are soldered (joined) together. Initially,each of the wires has a length of $1 \,m$ at $10^{\circ} C$. Now,the end $P$ is maintained at $10^{\circ} C$,while the end $S$ is heated and maintained at $400^{\circ} C$. The system is thermally insulated from its surroundings. If the thermal conductivity of wire $PQ$ is twice that of the wire $RS$ and the coefficient of linear thermal expansion of $PQ$ is $1.2 \times 10^{-5} \,K^{-1}$,the change in length of the wire $PQ$ is (in $\,mm$)

The thermal conductivity of copper is $9$ times that of steel. Find the temperature of the junction of copper and steel in the composite rod as shown in the figure (in $^oC$).
