Three rods each of same length and cross - section are joined in series. The thermal conductivity of the materials are K , 2K and 3K respectively. If one end is kept at 200^@C and the other at 100^@C . What would be the temperature of the junctions in the steady state? Assume that no heat is lost due to radiation from the sides of the rods.

A cylindrical block of length 0.4 m and area of cross-section 0.04 m^2 is placed coaxially on a thin metal disc of mass 0.4 kg and of the same cross - section. The upper face of the cylinder is maintained at a constant temperature of 400 K and the initial temperature of the disc is 300K. if the thermal conductivity of the material of the cylinder is 10 "watt"// m-K and the specific heat of the material of the disc is 600J//kg-K , how long will it take for the temperature of the disc to increase to 350 K? Assume for purpose of calculation the thermal conductivity of the disc to be very high and the system to be thermally insulated except for the upper face of the cylinder.
