Given: rate of flow of heat (conduction rate) $\mathrm{P}_{	ext {cond }}=1600 \mathrm{cal} / \mathrm{s}$ Thermal resistance, $\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{T}}=\frac{\Delta \mathrm{T}}{\mathrm{P}_{	ext {cond }}} \ & \mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{T}}=\frac{40}{1600} \ & \mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{T}}=0.025^{\circ} \mathrm{Cs} / \mathrm{cal} \end{aligned}$ ~

The rate of flow of heat through a metal rod with temperature difference $40^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ is $1600…
