Two `20g` worms climb over a `10cm` high, very then wall. One worm is thin and `20cm` long the other is fat and only `10cm` long. What is the ratio of the potential energy (w.r.t. the base of wall) of the thin worm as comparses to that of the fat worm when each is half way over the top of the wall as shown?

A

`1:1`

B

`2:1`

C

`2:3`

D

`1:2`

One end of a uniform brass rod 20 cm long and 10 cm^2 cross-sectional area is kept at 100^@C . The other end is in perfect thermal contact with another rod of identical cross-section and length 10 cm. The free end of this rod is kept in melting ice and when the steady state has been reached, it is found that 360 g of ice melts per hour. Calculate the thermal conductivity of the rod, given that the thermal conductivity of brass is 0.25 cal//s cm^@C and L = 80 cal//g .
