    Temperature difference of $120\,^oC$ is maintained between two ends of a uniform rod $AB$ of length $2L$. Another bent rod $PQ$, of same cross-section as $AB$ and length $\frac{{3L}}{2}$,  is connected across $AB$ (See figure). In steady state, temperature difference between $P$ and $Q$ will be close to .......... $^oC$

    A black coloured solid sphere of radius $R$ and mass $M$ is inside a cavity with vacuum inside. The walls of the cavity are maintained at temperature $T_0$. The initial temperature of the sphere is $3T_0$. If the specific heat of the material of the sphere varies as $\alpha T^3$ per unit mass with the temperature $T$ of the sphere, where $\alpha $ is a constant, then the time taken for the sphere to cool down to temperature $2T_0$ will be ( $\sigma $ is Stefan Boltzmann constant)
