The water in a lake starts freezing at a temperature of $0^{\circ}C$. If it takes $7$ hours to form $1 \ cm$ of ice when the atmospheric temperature is $-10^{\circ}C$, how much additional time will it take to increase the thickness of the ice from $1 \ cm$ to $2 \ cm$ (in $hours$)?

  • A
    $7$
  • B
    $14$
  • C
    $21$
  • D
    $28$

$A$ slab of stone of area $3600 \, cm^2$ and thickness $10 \, cm$ is exposed on the lower surface to steam at $100^{\circ} C$. $A$ block of ice at $0^{\circ} C$ rests on the upper surface of the slab. In one hour, $4.8 \, kg$ of ice is melted. The thermal conductivity of the stone in $J \, s^{-1} \, m^{-1} \, K^{-1}$ is (Latent heat of ice $= 3.36 \times 10^5 \, J/kg$)

The outer faces of a rectangular slab made of equal thickness of iron and brass are maintained at $100^{\circ} C$ and $0^{\circ} C$ respectively. The temperature at the interface is ........... $^{\circ} C$ (Thermal conductivity of iron and brass are $0.2$ and $0.3$ respectively.)

Five rods of same dimensions are arranged as shown in the figure. They have thermal conductivities $K_1, K_2, K_3, K_4$ and $K_5$. When points $A$ and $B$ are maintained at different temperatures,no heat flows through the central rod if

Rate of flow of heat through a cylindrical rod is $H_1$. The temperatures at the ends of the rod are $T_1$ and $T_2$. If all the dimensions of the rod become double and the temperature difference remains the same, and if the rate of flow of heat becomes $H_2$, then $H_2 =$
