NEET2012PhysicsThermal Properties of MatterActual
A slab of stone of area of 0.36 ~m ^2 and thickness 0.1 ~m is exposed on the lower surface to steam at 100^ C . A block of ice at 0^ C rests on the upper surface of the slab. In one hour 4.8 ~kg of ice is melted. The thermal conductivity of slab is (Given latent heat of fusion of ice =3.36 10^5 ~J ~kg ⁻¹ )
Options
- A1.24 ~J / m / s / ^ C
- B1.29 ~J / m / s / ^ C
- C2.05 ~J / m / s / ^ C
- D1.02 ~J / m / s / ^ C
