A rod of negligible heat capacity has length 20 cm, area of cross section 1.0 cm2 and thermal conductivity 200Wm−1∘C−1. The temperature of one end is maintained at0∘C and that of the other end is slowly andlineraly varied from 0∘C to 60∘C in 10 minutes. Assuming no loss of heat through the sides, find the total heat transmitted throug the rod in these 10 minutes.
