The water in a lake starts freezing at a temperature of $0^{\circ}C$. If it takes $7$ hours to form $1 \ cm$ of ice when the atmospheric temperature is $-10^{\circ}C$, how much additional time will it take to increase the thickness of the ice from $1 \ cm$ to $2 \ cm$ (in $hours$)?

The temperature difference between the ends of two cylindrical rods $A$ and $B$ of the same material is $2: 3$. In steady state, the ratio of the rates of flow of heat through the rods $A$ and $B$ is $5: 9$. If the radii of the rods $A$ and $B$ are in the ratio $1: 2$, then the ratio of lengths of the rods $A$ and $B$ is

$A$ cylindrical rod has temperatures $T_1$ and $T_2$ at its ends. The rate of flow of heat is $Q_1 \text{ cal s}^{-1}$. If the length and radius of the rod are doubled while keeping the temperatures constant,then the new rate of flow of heat $Q_2$ will be:

$A$ wall has two layers $A$ and $B$ each made of different materials,both layers have the same thickness. The thermal conductivity of material $A$ is twice that of $B$. Under thermal equilibrium,the temperature difference across wall $B$ is $36^{\circ}C$. The temperature difference across wall $A$ is ....... $^{\circ}C$.

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?

$A$ metal rod $AB$ of length $10x$ has its one end $A$ in ice at $0^{\circ}C$ and the other end $B$ in water at $100^{\circ}C$. If a point $P$ on the rod is maintained at $400^{\circ}C$,then it is found that equal amounts of water and ice evaporate and melt per unit time. The latent heat of evaporation of water is $540 \ cal/g$ and latent heat of melting of ice is $80 \ cal/g$. If the point $P$ is at a distance of $\lambda x$ from the ice end $A$,find the value of $\lambda$. (Neglect any heat loss to the surrounding.)
