Two metal rods made up of iron (K_1=79Wm^(-1)K^(-1)) and brass (K_2=109Wm^(-1)K^(-1)) are of identical shape and size. These are fused at the junction. If the temperature at the free end of iron is at a steam point and brass at ice point then calculate the temperature at the junction, when the steady state is attained.
