Two rods,one made of copper and the other made of steel,of the same length and same cross-sectional area,are joined together. The thermal conductivities of copper and steel are $385 \, W \, m^{-1} \, K^{-1}$ and $50 \, W \, m^{-1} \, K^{-1}$ respectively. The free ends of copper and steel are held at $100^{\circ} \, C$ and $0^{\circ} \, C$ respectively. The temperature at the junction is nearly $.......^{\circ} \, C$.
