The two opposite faces of a cubical piece of iron (thermal conductivity $= 0.2 \text{ CGS units}$) are at $100^{\circ}C$ and $0^{\circ}C$ in ice. If the area of a surface is $4 \text{ cm}^2$,then the mass of ice melted in $10 \text{ minutes}$ will be ...... $\text{gm}$.

$A$ cylindrical metallic rod in thermal contact with two reservoirs of heat at its two ends conducts an amount of heat $Q$ in time $t$. The metallic rod is melted and the material is formed into a rod of half the radius of the original rod. What is the amount of heat conducted by the new rod,when placed in thermal contact with the same two reservoirs in time $t$?

An ice box used for keeping eatables cold has a total wall area of $1\;m^2$ and a wall thickness of $5.0\;cm$. The thermal conductivity of the ice box material is $K = 0.01\;J/(m\cdot s\cdot ^\circ C)$. It is filled with ice at $0^\circ C$ along with eatables on a day when the temperature is $30^\circ C$. The latent heat of fusion of ice is $334 \times 10^3\;J/kg$. The amount of ice melted in one day is ........ $g$ $(1\;day = 86,400\;s)$.

Three rods of the same dimensions have thermal conductivities $3K, 2K$, and $K$. They are arranged as shown in the figure. The temperature of the junction in the steady state is:

An ice cube of dimensions $60\,cm \times 50\,cm \times 20\,cm$ is placed in an insulation box of wall thickness $1\,cm$. The box keeping the ice cube at $0^{\circ}C$ temperature is brought to a room of temperature $40^{\circ}C$. The rate of melting of ice is approximately. (Latent heat of fusion of ice is $3.4 \times 10^{5}\,J\,kg^{-1}$ and thermal conductivity of insulation wall is $0.05\,W\,m^{-1\circ}C^{-1}$)

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:
