Bebang owns a 130-mm-thick concrete brick table top that has an area of 10,000,000 mm^2 and a 0.750 cm thick glass plate that has an area of 20,000 cm^2. Assuming the same temperature difference across each, what is the ratio of the rate of heat conduction through the plate with respect to the rate of heat conduction through the table top? Use Table 10.1 (given below) for the value of Thermal Conductivity
