(c) $t = \frac{{Ql}}{{KA({\theta _1} - {\theta _2})}} = \frac{{mLl}}{{KA({\theta _1} - {\theta _2})}} = \frac{{V\rho Ll}}{{KA({\theta _1} - {\theta _2})}}$
$ = \frac{{5 \times A \times 0.92 \times 80 \times \frac{{5 + 10}}{2}}}{{0.004 \times A \times 10 \times 3600}} = 19.1\,hours$.

    Objects $A$ and $B$ that are initially separated from each other and well isolated from their surroundings are then brought into thermal contact. Initially $T_A= 0^oC$ and $T_B = 100^oC$. The specific heat of $A$ is less than the specific heat of $B$. After some time, the system comes to an equilibrium state. The final temperatures are :
