A rod of negligible heat capacity has length 40 cm, area of cross-section 1.0 cm^2 and thermal conductivity 100 W/m-°C. The temperature of one end is maintained at 0°C and that of the other end is slowly and linearly varied from (1°C to 60°C in 10 minutes. Assuming no loss of heat through the sides, find the total heat transmitted through the rod in these 10 minutes (in J).ANS IS: 450 joules

The temperature of the other end of the rod varies as
Hence the rate of transfer of heat at any point t is
Hence the total amount of heat transfered can be found out by integrating both sides with respect tofrom 0s to 600s.
