The wall of a furnace has a thickness of 5 cm and thermal conductivity
of 0.7 W/m-°C. The inside surface is heated by convection with a hot
gas at 402°C and a heat transfer coefficient of 37 W/m²-°C. The
outside surface has an emissivity of 0.8 and is exposed to air at 27°C
with a heat transfer coefficient of 20 W/m²-ºC. Assume that the
furnace is inside a large room with walls, floor and ceiling at 27°C.
Show the thermal circuit and determine the heat flux through the
furnace wall.

The other end of the rod is attached by a string of length 1 to a fixed point O which is located a distance 21 from the wall. A horizontal force of magnitude F₁ is applied to the lower end of the rod as shown. Assuming the rod and the string remain in the same vertical plane perpendicular to the wall, find the angle 0 between the rod and the wall at the position of static equilibrium. Notes: This quiz is going to walk you through a sequence of steps to do this. It won't give you the answers, but it will hopefully get you to see how to approach problems like this so that you have a working reference/template in the future. This is actually a modified version of a problem from the textbook (6.3). Note that in that problem, is not actually given.
