- A pot of water is boiling under one atmosphere of pressure. Assume that heat enters the pot only through its bottom, which is copper and rests on a heating element. In two minutes, the mass of water boiled away is m = 3.5 kg. The radius of the pot bottom is R = 7.5 cm and the thickness is L = 1.0 mm. What is the temperature of the heating element in contact with the pot?arrow_forwardA steel rod and an aluminium rod, with diameter 1.00 cm and length 25.0 cm are welded end to end. One end of the steel rod is placed in a large tank of boiling water at 100°C, while the far end of the aluminium rod is placed in a large tank of water at 20°C. The rods are insulated so that no heat escapes from their surface. Calculate the temperature at the joint and the rate of heat conduction through this rod.arrow_forwardTo treat a burn on his hand, a person decides to place an ice cube on the burned skin.
