Question
Three rods of Copper, Brass and Steel are welded together to form a $Y$ shaped structure. Area of cross - section of each rod $ = 4c{m^2}.$ End of copper rod is maintained at ${100^ \circ }C$ where as ends of brass and steel are kept at ${0^ \circ }C$. Lengths of the copper, brass and steel rods are $46,$ $13$ and $12$ $cms$ respectively. The rods are thermally insulated from surroundings excepts at ends. Thermal conductivities of copper, brass and steel are $0.92, 0.26$ and $0.12$ $CGS$ units respectively. Rate of heat flow through copper rod is:
$1.2$ $cal/s$
$2.4$ $cal/s$
$4.8$ $cal/s$
$6.0$ $cal/s$
