A copper rod of cross-sectional area

Reference no: EM13660882

A copper rod of cross-sectional area 12.2 cm2 has one end immersed in boiling water and the other in an ice-water mixture, which is thermally well insulated except for its contact by the copper. The length of the rod among the containers is 19.0cm, and the rod is covered by a thermal insulator to prevent heat loss from the sides. How many grams of ice melt each second? (The thermal conductivity of copper is 390 W/m-C°.)
