can sombody please help me, im a high school student and i really need help on this question

The diagram below show a cross-section view of a sheet of metal (of thermal conductivity, k) covered on each side by a layer of plastic of thermal conductivity k/1000. The lower face of the plastic is maintained at a steady temperature, T4 = 150°C. The top surface is maintained at a steady temperature, T1 = 20°C. Calculate the temperatures of the surfaces of the metal, T2 and T3. Assume that the heat lost through the sides of the metal (and plastic) is negligible.

i think I'v attacked the diagram

if anyone can, it would be really appriciated

You need to show us that you have but some effort into this problem.


What equations do you know of that might help?

hey, i figured it out!! used the k=Rd/((T2-T1)A) formula, the R, A and K cancelled out
thanks anyway
