Thermal Physics Homework Worksheet 2

1. The temperature of a metal rod heated at one end in steady state remains constant along the length of the rod. 2. Given parameters in a diagram of a rod connected to a box with ice, the rate of ice melting in the box is calculated to be 84 mg/s. 3. For a wall made of two layers with different thermal conductivities but the same thickness, if the temperature difference across the wall is 36°C, the temperature difference across the higher conductivity layer is 18°C.
