To find the thermal conductivity of the material of the box, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Problem We have a heater of power \( P = 100 \, \text{W} \) placed in a cubical container with edge length \( L = 6 \times 10^{-2} \, \text{m} \) and wall thickness \( d = 1 \, \text{mm} = 1 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{m} \). The inside temperature is \( T_1 = 30^\circ C \) and the outside temperature is \( T_2 = 25^\circ C \). We need to find the thermal conductivity \( k \) of the container material. ### Step 2: Calculate the Temperature Difference The temperature difference \( \Delta T \) between the inside and outside of the container is: \[ ...
