Question -


One end of a copper rod of length 1.0 m and area of cross-section 103 is immersed in boiling water and the other end in ice. If the coefficient of thermal conductivity of copper is 92cal/msC and the latent heat of ice is 8×104cal/kg, then the amount of ice which will melt in one minute is

Options:
A .   9.2×103kg
B .   8×103kg
C .   6.9×103kg
D .   5.4×103kg
Answer: Option C
:
C

Heat transferred in one minute is utilised in melting the  ice so,  KA(θ1θ2)tl=m×L
m=103×92×(1000)×601×8×104=6.9×103kg
