In the figure shown,$AB$ is a rod of length $30 \ cm$,area of cross-section $1 \ cm^2$ and thermal conductivity $336 \ SI$ units. The ends $A$ and $B$ are at constant temperatures $20^{\circ} C$ and $40^{\circ} C$ respectively. $A$ point $C$ of the rod is connected to ice at $0^{\circ} C$ in a thermally insulated box $D$ through a highly conducting wire of negligible heat capacity. The rate at which ice melts in the box is $\left(L_{ice}=80 \ cal \ g^{-1}\right)$.
