Two plates of equal areas are placed in contact with each other. Their thicknesses are 2.0 cm and 3.0 cm respectively. The temperature of the external surface of the first plate is -25°C and that of the external surface of the second plate is 25°C. What will be the temperature of the contact-surface, have thermal conductivities in the ratio 2 : 3.

A square sheet of cork of side 20 cm and thickness 3.0 mm is placed in contact of a square glass sheet of side 20 cm and thickness 5.0 mm. The outer faces of this composite sheet are maintained at 100°C and 20°C, the cork face being at higher temperature. Find the temperature of the cork-glass interface. The thermal conductivities of cork and glass are 0.063 W m-1K-1 and 0.72 W m-1K-1 respectively.
