A metal rod of length 10 cm and area of cross section 2.8 times 10^-4 m^2 is covered with a non-conducting substance. One end of it is maintained at 80^@C , while the other end is put in ice at 0^@C . It is found that 20 gm of ice melts of 5 min. The thermal conductivity of the metal in Js^-1 m^-1 K^-1 is (Latent heat of ice is 80 cal g^-1 ).

A 3 cm cube of iron has one face at 100^(@)C and the other in a block of ice at 0^(@)C . If k of iron = 0.2 CGS units and L for ice is 80cal/gm, then the amount of ice that melts in 10 minutes is (assume steady state heat transfer)
