A: The thermal conductivity of a body depends on its material and dimensions. R: Thermal conductivity is proportional to length and inversely proportional to area cross-section of body.

A metallic rod of cross-sectional area 20 cm^(2) , with the lateral surface insulated to prevent heat loss, has one end immersed in boiling water and the other in ice water mixture. The heat conducted through the rod melts the ice at the rate of 1 gm for every 84 sec. The thermal conductivity of the rod is 160 Wm^(-1)K^(-1) . Latent heat of ice=80 cal/gm, 1 ca=4.2 joule. What is the length (in m) of the rod?
