The block in the drawing has dimensions L0×2L0×3L0,where L0 =0.2 m. The block has a thermal conductivity of 150 J/(s·m·C˚). In drawings A, B, and C, heat is conducted through the block in three different directions; in each case the temperature of the warmer surface is 35 ˚C and that of the cooler surface is 16 ˚C Determine the heat that flows in 6 s for each case.

1140 J, 6840 J, 10260 J

Explanation:

Lo x 2 Lo x 3 Lo, Lo = 0.2 m,  K = 150 J/(s · m · C˚) , T = 35 ˚C, T' = 16 ˚C,

time, t = 6 s

The heat conducted is

The heat conducted is

The heat conducted is

work: w = fd (given)

work done by chet   =50*1 = 50 j

work done by mika =40*2 = 80 j

work done by sara =30*1.5 = 45 j

work done by bill =60*0.5 = 30 j

students in order from the greatest amount of work done to the least is mika> chet> sara> bill

hence option (b) is correct.
