What is the temperature of the steel-copper junction in the steady-state of the system shown in the figure?

The length of the steel rod = 15.0 cm, length of the copper rod = 10.0 cm, temperature of the furnace = 300 °C, temperature of the other end = 0 °C. The area of the cross section of the steel rod is twice that of the copper rod.

(Thermal conductivity of steel = 50.2 J s-1 m-1 K-1; and of copper = 385 J s-1 m-1 K-1).

1.  44.4 °C

2.  44.4 K

3.  54.4 °C

4.  54.4 K
