Two conducting cylinders of equal length but different radii are connected in series between two heat baths kept at temperatures $T _1=300 K$ and $T _2=100 K$, as shown in the figure. The radius of the bigger cylinder is twice that of the smaller one and the thermal conductivities of the materials of the smaller and the larger cylinders are $K _1$ and $K _2$ respectively. If the temperature at the junction of the two cylinders in the steady state is $200 K$, then $K _1 / K _2=$ . . . . .

An iron tyre is to be fitted on to a wooden wheel 1m in diameter. The diameter of tyre is $6\, mm$ smaller than that of wheel. The tyre should be heated so that its temperature increases by a minimum of ........ $^oC$ (the coefficient of cubical expansion of iron is ${3.6 \times 10^{-5} } °C^{-1}$)

When the temperature of a metal wire is increased from $0^{\circ} \,C$ to $10^{\circ}\, C$, its length increases by $0.02 \% .$ The percentage change in its mass density will be closest to:
