A copper rod is joined to a steel rod in series. The rods have equal length and equal cross – sectional area. The free end of copper rod is kept at 10°C and that of steel rod is kept at 100°C. If the thermal conductivity of copper is eight times that of steel, what is the temperature at the junction of the rods ?

a
50°C
b
26°C
c
20°C
d
11°C

detailed solution

Correct option is C

when they are connected in series heat flow Qt= KAT1-T2l= constant Temperature difference is inversely proportional to K 100-TT-10=K2K1=81 solving T=20

Figure shows a paddle wheel coupled with an agitator submerged in a water tank placed in an ice bath. The thickness of tank walls is 2mm and with thermal conductivity 0.5W/mC. The surface area of tank in contact with water is 0.05m2. As the block of mass M attached to wheel goes down agitator rotates. It is found that in steady state block goes down at a constant speed of 0.1m/s and water temperature remain constant at 1°C. Find the mass of block (in kg).  (Take g=10m/s2 )
