A concrete wall of a cold storage room measures 3.0 m high, 5.0 m wide, and 20 cm thick. The room temperature is maintained at -10°C and the outside temperature is 20°C The inside wall is to be covered by a layer of wood in order to reduce the rate of heat loss through the wall by 90 percent. The thermal conductivities of concrete and wood are 0.80 W/m • K and 0.040 W/m • K, respectively. Under steady state conditions, the thickness of the layer of wood required is closest to

A) 60 mm.
B) 70 mm.
C) 80 mm.
⇒ D) 90 mm.
E) 100 mm.

The answer is 90 mm but I have no idea how to get there. I've tried this problem four times but no luck.

During physical science, ms. greene challenged her students to produce an energy transformation. james and jill wrapped a 4-inch nail with a coil of fifty turns of wire. they connected one end of the coil to one terminal of a knife switch. they connected the other terminal of the knife switch to the battery. finally, they connected the end of the coil to the other terminal of the battery. james held the tip of a 1-inch nail near the flat end of the 4-inch nail. jill closed the knife switch quickly and then opened it. the 1-inch nail was pulled toward the 4-inch nail. what is the best explanation of why the nail moved? a) electrical energy was converted to mechanical energy in the 1-inch nail. b) the 4-inch nail became an electromagnet and the magnetic force attracted the 1-inch nail. c) the electric current in the 4-inch nail was converted to mechanical energy in the 1-inch nail. d) the 4-inch nail had a positive charge and the 1-inch nail had a negative charge. opposites attracted.
