Four rods of identical cross-sectional area and made from the same metal form the sides of square. The temperature of two diagonally opposite points and $T$ and $\sqrt 2 $ $T$ respective in the steady state. Assuming that only heat conduction takes place, what will be the temperature difference between other two points

Three rods made of the same material and having same cross-sectional area but different lengths $10\, cm, 20\, cm$ and $30\, cm$ are joined as shown. The temperature of the junction is......... $^oC$ 

A rod of length $L$ with sides fully insulated is of a material whose thermal conductivity varies with $\alpha$ temperature as $ K= \frac{\alpha }{T}$, where $\alpha$ is a constant. The ends of the rod are kept at temperature $T_1$ and $T_2$. The temperature $T$ at $x,$ where $x$ is the distance from the end whose temperature is $T_1$ is 

Two rods (one semi-circular and other straight) of same material and of same cross-sectional area are joined as shown in the figure. The points $A$ and $B$ are maintained at different temperature. The ratio of the heat transferred through a cross-section of a semi-circular rod to the heat transferred through a cross section of the straight rod in a given time is

A metallic rod of cross-sectional area $9.0\,\,cm^2$ and length $0.54 \,\,m$, with the surface insulated to prevent heat loss, has one end immersed in boiling water and the other in ice-water mixture. The heat conducted through the rod melts the ice at the rate of $1 \,\,gm$ for every $33 \,\,sec$. The thermal conductivity of the rod is ....... $ Wm^{-1} K^{-1}$

Surface of the lake is at $2^{\circ} C$. The temperature of the bottom of the lake is ....... $^{\circ} C$
