Homework Statement


Two bars are placed between plates whose temperatures are Thotand Tcold . The thermal conductivity of bar 1 is six times that of bar 2 (k1 = 6k2), but bar 1 has only one-third the cross-sectional area (A1=1/3 A2 ). Ignore any heat loss through the sides of the bars. Which statement below correctly describes the heat conducted by the bars in a given amount of time?

Homework Equations

The Attempt at a Solution


Bar 1 conducts twice the heat as does bar 2; Q1 = 2Q2 is the answer but how??

You missed section 2 in the homework template which gives the answer: You should have a formula for heat conduction in your textbook/script where you can just plug in values.
 
Thread 'Need help understanding this figure on energy levels'
This figure is from "Introduction to Quantum Mechanics" by Griffiths (3rd edition). It is available to download. It is from page 142. I am hoping the usual people on this site will give me a hand understanding what is going on in the figure. After the equation (4.50) it says "It is customary to introduce the principal quantum number, ##n##, which simply orders the allowed energies, starting with 1 for the ground state. (see the figure)" I still don't understand the figure :( Here is...
Thread 'Understanding how to "tack on" the time wiggle factor'
The last problem I posted on QM made it into advanced homework help, that is why I am putting it here. I am sorry for any hassle imposed on the moderators by myself. Part (a) is quite easy. We get $$\sigma_1 = 2\lambda, \mathbf{v}_1 = \begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ 0 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_2 = \lambda, \mathbf{v}_2 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_3 = -\lambda, \mathbf{v}_3 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ -1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} $$ There are two ways...
