Objects A and B in the figure are made from copper, but the mass of object B is three times that of object A. Object C is made from glass and has the same mass as object B. The same amount of heat Q is supplied to each one: Q= 13.4 J. Determine the rise in temperature of (a) block A, (b) block B, and (c) block C. Assume specific heat capacities ce=387 J/(kg-C°) for copper and cg=840 J/(kg-C°) for glass.

A metal rod is 10 cm long and has a diameter of 2 cm one end is in contact with steam at 100 deg C while the other end contacts a block of ice at 0 deg C. The cylindrical surface of the rod is carefully insulated so heat flows only from one end to end. In a time of 20 minutes, 320 grams of ice melts. What is the thermal conductivity of the metal?
