Problem

A fuse wire has a conical shape with radius decreasing from rr at the base to r3\frac{r}{3} at the tip. A constant current is passed through it. If the rate of heat generation per unit volume at the wide base is HbaseH_{\text{base}}, determine the rate of heat generation per unit volume HtipH_{\text{tip}} at the narrow tip in terms of HbaseH_{\text{base}}.
