Question

Two cylindrical metal rods-one copper, the other lead-are connected in parallel with a temperature of 22.0 ∘C at one end and 113 ∘C at the other end. Both rods are 0.640 mm in length, and the lead rod is 2.76 cm in diameter.

If the combined rate of heat flow through the two rods is 33.1 J/s , what is the diameter of the copper rod?
