If the ratio of the coefficient of thermal conductivity of silver and copper is $10 : 9$,then the ratio of the lengths up to which wax will melt in the Ingen Hausz experiment will be:

One end of a copper rod of uniform cross-section and of length $3.1 \ m$ is kept in contact with ice at $0^{\circ}C$ and the other end with water at $100^{\circ}C$. At what point along its length should a temperature of $200^{\circ}C$ be maintained so that in steady state,the mass of ice melting is equal to the mass of steam produced in the same interval of time? Assume that the whole system is insulated from the surroundings. Latent heat of fusion of ice and vaporisation of water are $80 \ cal/g$ and $540 \ cal/g$ respectively.

Consider two rods $1$ and $2$ of same length $L$. They have different specific heats $(C_1, C_2)$, thermal conductivities $(K_1, K_2)$ and area of cross-section $(A_1, A_2)$ respectively. Both the rods have temperatures $(T_1, T_2)$ at their ends. If their rate of loss of heat due to conduction is equal, then

Define thermal conductivity. Also,provide its $SI$ unit and dimensional formula.

Three rods of the same dimensions have thermal conductivities $3k, 2k$ and $k$. They are arranged as shown,with their ends at $100\,^{\circ}C, 50\,^{\circ}C$ and $0\,^{\circ}C$. The temperature of their junction is
