In an $Ingen-Hauz$ experiment,the wax melts on two rods up to lengths of $10 \ cm$ and $25 \ cm$ respectively. If the two rods are made of different materials,what is the ratio of their thermal conductivities?

Two conducting cylinders of equal length but different radii are connected in series between two heat baths kept at temperatures $T_1=300 \ K$ and $T_2=100 \ K$,as shown in the figure. The radius of the bigger cylinder is twice that of the smaller one and the thermal conductivities of the materials of the smaller and the larger cylinders are $K_1$ and $K_2$ respectively. If the temperature at the junction of the two cylinders in the steady state is $200 \ K$,then $K_1 / K_2 = . . . . . .$

$A$ cylindrical rod has temperatures $T_1$ and $T_2$ at its ends. The rate of flow of heat is $Q_1 \text{ cal s}^{-1}$. If the length and radius of the rod are doubled while keeping the temperatures constant,then the new rate of flow of heat $Q_2$ will be:
