At a common temperature, a block of wood and a block of metal feel equally cold or hot. The temperatures of block of wood and block of metal are
Equal to temperature of the body
Less than the temperature of the body
Greater than temperature of the body
Either $(b)$ or $(c)$
On heating one end of a rod, the temperature of whole rod will be uniform when
A cylinder of radius $R$ is surrounded by a cylindrical shell of inner radius $R$ and outer radius $2R$. The thermal conductivity of the material of the inner cylinder is $K_1$ and that of the outer cylinder is $K_2$. Assuming no loss of heat, the effective thermal conductivity of the system for heat flowing along the length of the cylinder is
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 two reservoirs in time $t$ ?
One end of a metal rod of length $1.0 m$ and area of cross section $100c{m^2}$ is maintained at ${100^o}C.$If the other end of the rod is maintained at ${0^o}C$, the quantity of heat transmitted through the rod per minute is (Coefficient of thermal conductivity of material of rod =$100W/m-K$)
If $K_{1}$ and $K_{2}$ are the thermal conductivities $L_{1}$ and $L _{2}$ are the lengths and $A _{1}$ and $A _{2}$ are the cross sectional areas of steel and copper rods respectively such that $\frac{K_{2}}{K_{1}}=9, \frac{A_{1}}{A_{2}}=2, \frac{L_{1}}{L_{2}}=2$.
Then, for the arrangement as shown in the figure. The value of temperature $T$ of the steel - copper junction in the steady state will be ........... $^{\circ} C$
