(10) Plot a graph of temperature T of brass disc as a function of

time. A typical plot is shown in Fig. 2. Draw tangential line
to the curve, corresponding to the temperature, T2 and
determine its slope. The slope is equivalent to

(11) Calculate thermal conductivity, K' using equn (3) and by

multiplying a correction factor

Figure 2
Here, h is the thickness of the brass disk. The correction
factor is introduced because the cooling measurement was
not exactly the same environment of steady state
measurement.
