Homework Statement



How much heat will flow in 30 minutes through a 2m X 2m section of concrete (k= 8.36 x 10^-1 J/s m *C) 20 cm thick if the inside temperature if 21*C and the outside temperature is -10*C?


Homework Equations



Not sure but Q/t= {(kA/L} Tkelvin or Q/t= εσAT^4kelvin



The Attempt at a Solution



I did not attempt the solution because i have no idea what formula to use or how to approach a problem like this

Your first equation is the one to use, but you should have a ΔT, rather than a Tkelvin. This is a heat conduction problem.
 
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...
