The container A contains ice at 0∘C. A conducting uniform rod PQ of length 4R is used to transfer heat to the ice in the container. The end P of the rod is maintained at 100∘C and the other end Q is kept inside the container A. The complete ice melts in 23 minutes. In another experiments, two conductors in the shape of quarter circles of radii 2R and R are welded to the conductor PQ at M and N respectively and their other ends are inserted inside the container A. All conductors are made of the same material and have the same cross sectional area. Once again, the end P is maintained at 100∘C and this time, the complete ice melts in t minutes. Find t.[Assume no heat loss from the curved surface of the rods and take π≃3.0] |
