We know that temperature gradient is,
ΔT/Δx = 1643 K/m
(TH – T)/Δx = 1643 K/m (Since, ΔT = TH – T)
TH – T = (1643 K/m) Δx
T = TH - (1643 K/m) Δx
To find out T, substitute 670 K for TH and 11.0 cm for Δx in the equation T = TH - (1643 K/m) Δx,
T = TH - (1643 K/m) Δx
= (670 K) – ((1643 K/m) (11.0 cm))
= (670 K) – ((1643 K/m) (11.0 cm))
= (670 K) – ((1643 K/m) (11.0 cm×10-2 m/1 cm ))
= (670 K) – ((1643 K/m) (0.11 m)
= (670 K) – (180.73 K)
= 489.27 K
Rounding off to two significant figures, the temperature at a point in the rod 11.0 cm from the high temperature end will be 490 K.
