Three rods of Copper, Brass and Steel are welded together to form a $Y$ shaped structure. Area of cross - section of each rod $= 4\ cm^2$ . End of copper rod is maintained at $100^o C $ where as ends ofbrass and steel are kept at $0^o C$. Lengths of the copper, brass and steel rods are $46, 13$ and $12\ cms$ respectively. The rods are thermally insulated from surroundings excepts at ends. Thermal conductivities of copper, brass and steel are $0.92, 0.26$ and $0.12\ CGS$ units respectively. Rate ofheat flow through copper rod is ....... $cal\, s^{-1}$
