A single pane of glass in an old home measures 1.14 m by 0.6 m and is 0.01 m thick. During a cold winter night (10 hours), the temperature on the outside measures -8.6 degrees Celsius and the temperature on the inside measures 20.6 degrees Celsius. If the coefficient of thermal conducitivity is 1.7 W/(K m^2), how much heat is lost?
