To solve the problem of finding the temperature gradient in a uniform copper bar with water layers at both ends, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Setup We have a copper bar of length 100 cm, insulated on the sides, with one end exposed to ice (0°C) and the other end exposed to steam (100°C). There are water layers of thickness 0.1 mm at both ends. ### Step 2: Convert Units Convert the thickness of the water layer from mm to cm: - 0.1 mm = 0.01 cm ...
