A rectangular window in a home has a length of 1.5 m and a height of 0.80 m. If the window allows heat to escape from the home at a rate of 2,000 watts, how thick must the window be if the inside temperature of the home is 220 c and the outside temperature is 3.0°C? (Assume that the coefficient of thermal conduction of glass is 0.80 W/mK.)
