Halliday, Resnick & Walker β Temperature, Heat, and the First Law of Thermodynamics: Problem 72
The average rate at which energy is conducted outward through the ground surface in North America is \(54.0\text{ mW/m}^2\), and the average thermal conductivity of the near-surface rocks is \(2.50\text{ W/m}\cdot\text{K}\). Assuming a surface temperature of \(10.0^\circ\text{C}\), find the temperature at a depth of \(35.0\text{ km}\) (near the base of the crust). Ignore the heat generated by the presence of radioactive elements.
