One end of a 2.35 m2.35\,\text{m} long aluminium rod of radius 2.0 cm2.0\,\text{cm} (K=235 W m−1K−1K = 235\,\text{W\,m}^{-1}\text{K}^{-1}) is held at 20 ∘C20\,^\circ\text{C}. The other end is in contact with a block of ice at its melting point. The rate in kg s−1\text{kg\,s}^{-1} at which ice melts is [Take latent heat of fusion for ice as 3.36×105 J kg−13.36\times10^5\,\text{J\,kg}^{-1}]
