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 $hours$)?

Wires $A$ and $B$ have identical lengths and have circular cross-sections. The radius of $A$ is twice the radius of $B$,$i.e.$,${r_A} = 2{r_B}$. For a given temperature difference between the two ends,both wires conduct heat at the same rate. The relation between the thermal conductivities is given by:

$A$ wall consists of two layers $A$ and $B$. The two layers have the same thickness but are made of different materials. The thermal conductivity of $A$ is twice that of $B$. Under steady-state conditions,the temperature difference between the two ends is $36 ^\circ C$. The temperature difference across the two surfaces of $A$ is .......... $^\circ C$.

The temperature difference across two cylindrical rods $A$ and $B$ of the same material and same mass are $40^{\circ} C$ and $60^{\circ} C$ respectively. In steady state,if the rates of flow of heat through the rods $A$ and $B$ are in the ratio $3: 8$,the ratio of the lengths of the rods $A$ and $B$ is (in $: 3$)

Three metal rods made of copper, brass, and steel, each with a cross-sectional area of $4 \,cm^2$, are joined as shown in the figure. Their lengths are $46 \,cm, 13 \,cm$, and $12 \,cm$ respectively. Their coefficients of thermal conductivity are $0.92, 0.26$, and $0.12$ respectively, all in $CGS$ units. The rods are thermally insulated from the surroundings except at the ends. The rate of flow of heat through the copper rod, in $cal \,s^{-1}$, is:

Two metal cubes $A$ and $B$ of the same size are arranged as shown in the figure. The ends of the combination are maintained at the indicated temperatures. The arrangement is thermally insulated. If the thermal conductivities of $A$ and $B$ are $300 \, W/m \, ^\circ C$ and $200 \, W/m \, ^\circ C$ respectively,find the temperature $t$ at the junction when the steady state is reached.
