A cart of mass M is at rest on a frictionless horizontal surface and a pendulum bob of mass m hangs from the roof of the cart. The string breaks, the bob falls on the floor, makes several collisions on the floor and finally lands up in a small slot made in the floor. The horizontal distance between the string and the slot is L. Find the displacement of the cart during this process.

A cylindrical rod of length 50cm and cross sectional area 1cm² is fitted between a large ice chamber at 0^°C and an evacuated chamber maintained at 27^°C as shown in figure. Only small portions of the rod are inside the chambers and the rest is thermally insulated from the surrounding. The cross section going into the evacuated chamber is blackened so that it completely absorbs any radiation falling on it. The temperature of the blackened end is 17^°C when steady state is reached. Stefan constant $\sigma=6\times10^{-8}\text{W/m}^{-2}\text{K}^{-4}.$ Find the thermal conductivity of the material of the rod.
