A box with a total surface area of 1.47 m2 and a wall thickness of 3.91 cm is made of an insulating material. A 15.9 W electric heater inside the box maintains the inside temperature at 8.4 ◦C above the outside temperature. Find the thermal conductivity of the insulating material. Answer in units of W/m · ◦ C.

0.05 W/m°C

Explanation:

Surface area of box, A = 1.47 m²

thickness of wall, d = 3.91 cm = 0.0391 m

Power of heater, P = 15.9 W

difference in temperature, ΔT = 8.4 °C

Let K is the thermal conductivity.

Heat flows per unit time is given by

K = 0.05 W/m°C

Thus, the thermal conductivity of the box is 0.05 W/m°C.

i think it's 35 meters

jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system, having a mass and radius that are respectively, 318 and 11.2 times that of earth. suppose that an object falls from rest near the surface of each planet and that the acceleration due to gravity remains constant during the fall. each object falls the same distance before striking the ground. determine the ratio of the time of fall on jupiter to that on earth.
