Water Ice Students design an experiment with a curved insulated rod of an unknown thermally conducting material as shown in the figure The rod is 1 m long and 2 cm in diameter One end of the rod is touching the surface of vater kept at 350 K by a hot plate and the other end is just touching the surface of a well insulated block of ice The students are required to create a procedure to determine the thermal conductivity of the rod They first determine that they can measure the amount of ice that has melted after a given time to calculate the heat ansfer over time to the block of ice Which of the following must the students also measure to calculate the thermal conductivity of the rod
