Question
Two plates $\mathrm{A}$ and $\mathrm{B}$ have thermal conductivities $84 ~\mathrm{Wm}^{-1} \mathrm{~K}^{-1}$ and $126 ~\mathrm{Wm}^{-1} \mathrm{~K}^{-1}$ respectively. They have same surface area and same thickness. They are placed in contact along their surfaces. If the temperatures of the outer surfaces of $\mathrm{A}$ and $\mathrm{B}$ are kept at $100^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ and $0{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ respectively, then the temperature of the surface of contact in steady state is _____________ ${ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$.
