Ice starts forming in lake with water at ${0^o}C$ and when the atmospheric temperature is $ - {10^o}C$. If the time taken for $1 \;cm$ of ice be $7$ hours, then the time taken for the thickness of ice to change from $1\; cm$ to $2\; cm$ is
$7$ hours
$14$ hours
Less than $7$ hours
More than $7$ hours
An ice box used for keeping eatable cold has a total wall area of $1\;metr{e^2}$ and a wall thickness of $5.0cm$. The thermal conductivity of the ice box is $K = 0.01\;joule/metre{ - ^o}C$. It is filled with ice at ${0^o}C$ along with eatables on a day when the temperature is $30°C$ . The latent heat of fusion of ice is $334 \times {10^3}joules/kg$. The amount of ice melted in one day is ........ $gms$ ($1day = 86,400\;\sec onds$)
The ratio of thermal conductivity of two rods of different material is $5 : 4$ . The two rods of same area of cross-section and same thermal resistance will have the lengths in the ratio
Two different rods $A$ and $B$ are kept as shown in figure. The variation of temperature of different cross sections is plotted in a graph shown in figure. The ratio of thermal conductivities of $A$ and $B$ is
Two rods $A$ and $B$ of different materials are welded together as shown in figure.Their thermal conductivities are $K_1$ and $K_2$ The thermal conductivity of the composite rod will be
Under steady state, the temperature of a body
