Problem

A steel rod 40 cm40\,\text{cm} long and of cross-sectional area 5.0 cm25.0\,\text{cm}^2 conducts heat steadily between its ends kept 60 K60\,\text{K} apart. Keeping the temperature difference unchanged, the area is reduced by 20%20\% and the length is increased by 10%10\%. Calculate the percentage change in the heat current caused by these modifications.
