One end of a copper rod of uniform cross-section and of length $3.1 \ m$ is kept in contact with ice at $0^{\circ}C$ and the other end with water at $100^{\circ}C$. At what point along its length should a temperature of $200^{\circ}C$ be maintained so that in steady state,the mass of ice melting is equal to the mass of steam produced in the same interval of time? Assume that the whole system is insulated from the surroundings. Latent heat of fusion of ice and vaporisation of water are $80 \ cal/g$ and $540 \ cal/g$ respectively.
