Two walls of thicknesses $d_1$ and $d_2$ and thermal conductivities $k_1$ and $k_2$ are in contact. In the steady state,if the temperatures at the outer surfaces are $T_1$ and $T_2$,the temperature at the common wall is

The thermal conductivity of a rod is $2$. What is its thermal resistivity?

$A$ slab of stone of area $3600 \, cm^2$ and thickness $10 \, cm$ is exposed on the lower surface to steam at $100^{\circ} C$. $A$ block of ice at $0^{\circ} C$ rests on the upper surface of the slab. In one hour, $4.8 \, kg$ of ice is melted. The thermal conductivity of the stone in $J \, s^{-1} \, m^{-1} \, K^{-1}$ is (Latent heat of ice $= 3.36 \times 10^5 \, J/kg$)

Two plates of equal area are placed in series. The ratios of their thicknesses and thermal conductivities are both $2:3$. The temperature of the outer surface of one plate is $100 ^\circ C$ and that of the other is $0 ^\circ C$. The temperature of the common surface is ....... $^\circ C$.

The coefficients of thermal conductivity of copper,mercury,and glass are respectively $K_c, K_m$,and $K_g$ such that $K_c > K_m > K_g$. If the same quantity of heat is to flow per second per unit area of each and corresponding temperature gradients are $X_c, X_m$,and $X_g$,then:
