To calculate the thermal conductivity of copper, we can use the formula:

Q = k * A * (T2 - T1) / L

Where:
Q = Heat supplied rate = 80 W
k = Thermal conductivity of copper (what we want to find)
A = Cross sectional area = 100 cm^2 = 0.01 m^2
T2 = Temperature at 48°C = 48°C + 273.15 = 321.15 K
T1 = Temperature at 28°C = 28°C + 273.15 = 301.15 K
L = Total length = 20 cm = 0.2 m

We are given two different distances, 5 cm and 15 cm. We will calculate the thermal conductivity for both distances and take the average.

For distance 5 cm:
Q = k * 0.01 * (321.15 - 301.15) / 0.05
80 = k * 0.01 * 20 / 0.05
80 = k * 2
k = 40 W/mK

For distance 15 cm:
Q = k * 0.01 * (321.15 - 301.15) / 0.15
80 = k * 0.01 * 20 / 0.15
80 = k * 0.67
k = 119.4 W/mK

Average thermal conductivity:
(k1 + k2) / 2 = (40 + 119.4) / 2
= 159.4 / 2
= 79.7 W/mK

Therefore, the thermal conductivity of copper is approximately 79.7 W/mK.

Given:

Heat supplied, $P = 80 \text{ W}$

Cross-sectional area, $A = 100 \text{ cm}^2 = 0.01 \text{ m}^2$

Total length, $L = 20 \text{ cm} = 0.2 \text{ m}$

Temperatures:

$T_1 = 48 ^\circ \text{C} = 321 \text{ K}$

$T_2 = 28 ^\circ \text{C} = 301 \text{ K}$

Distance:

$x_1 = 5 \text{ cm} = 0.05 \text{ m}$

$x_2 = 15 \text{ cm} = 0.15 \text{ m}$

To find: Thermal conductivity of copper, $k$

Formula:

The heat transfer rate through a material is given by:

$$P = kA\frac{dT}{dx}$$

Where:

$P$ is the heat transfer rate in watts
$k$ is the thermal conductivity in watts per meter-kelvin
$A$ is the cross-sectional area in square meters
$\frac{dT}{dx}$ is the temperature gradient in kelvins per meter

Solving for $k$:

$$k = \frac{P}{A}\frac{dx}{dT}$$

Calculating the temperature gradient:

$$\frac{dT}{dx} = \frac{T_2 - T_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{301 \text{ K} - 321 \text{ K}}{0.15 \text{ m} - 0.05 \text{ m}} = -100 \text{ K/m}$$

Substituting the values:

$$k = \frac{80 \text{ W}}{0.01 \text{ m}^2}\frac{0.1 \text{ m}}{-100 \text{ K}} = 0.08 \text{ W/m-K}$$

Therefore, the thermal conductivity of copper is 0.08 W/m-K.
