On a cold morning, a metal surface will feel colder to touch than a wooden surface because 

Two vessels of different materials are similar in size in every respect. The same quantity of ice filled in them gets melted in $20$ minutes and $40$ minutes respectively. The ratio of thermal conductivities of the materials is 

Two rods having thermal conductivity in the ratio of $5 : 3$ having equal lengths and equal cross-sectional area are joined by face to face. If the temperature of the free end of the first rod is $100°C$ and free end of the second rod is $20°C$ . Then temperature of the junction is...... $^oC$

For the figure shown, when arc $ACD$ and $ADB$ are made of same material, the heat carried between $A$ and $B$ is $H$ . If $ADB$ is replaced with another material, the heat carried becomes $2H$ . If the temperatures at $A$ and $B$ are fixed at $T_1$ and $T_2$ , what is the ratio of the new conductivity to the old one of $ADB$

Four rods of same material and having the same cross section and length have been joined, as shown. The temperature of junction of four rods will be........ $^oC$

A metal rod of length $2\, m$ has cross-sectional areas $2A$ and $A$ as shown in the following figure. The two ends are maintained at temperatures $100\,^oC$ and $70\,^oC$. The temperature of middle point $C$ is ........ $^oC$
