Question
You are boiling pasta and absentmindedly grab a copper stirring spoon rather than your wooden spoon. The copper spoon has a 20 mm × 1.5 mm rectangular cross section, and the distance from the boiling water to your 35∘C hand is 18 cm. How long does it take the spoon to transfer 40 J of energy to your hand?

The spoon to transfer 40 J of energy to your hand is descibed as follows
Explanation:
Given area of cross section of copper spoon is A = 20mm into 1.5 mm
temperature difference is DT = (100 minus 35) = 65 0C
length of the spoon is l = 18 cm,
amount of heat should be transfer Q = 40 J
coefficient of thermal conductivity of copper k = 400 W by mk
we know that the thermal conductivity is Q by t = k into A into DT by l
t = Q into l by k into A into DT
t = (40 into 0.18) by
t = 9.23 s
