What Are the Requirements for Part B?

AI Thread Summary
Part B requires an understanding of heat transfer through conduction, specifically using the formula Q/t = dTKA/x. The key variables include Q/t as the heat current, dT as the temperature difference (140 in this case), K as the thermal conductivity (0.04), A as the cross-sectional area, and x as the length of the cross-section. Clarification on the question helped the user find the answer they needed. Understanding the formula and its components is essential for solving the problem.

Could someone tell me what I'm supposed to do for part B please. I don't know what the question is asking :(

This question is with regards to the heat transfer through conduction.

Heat Current means Total heat energy liberated per second.

Go for the formula:

Q/t=dTKA/x

Where Q/t=heat current

dT=difference in temeperatures on both side of the walls(140 in the question)

K=Thermal conductivity=0.04 (given)

A=Area of the cross section

x=length of the cross section
 
Thanks I got the answer, I just needed to understand what PartB was asking
 

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...

Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'

Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
