Answer

$2.64cm$

Work Step by Step

We can find the diameter of the copper rod as $d_{cu}=\sqrt{\frac{(\frac{Q_{total}}{t})(\frac{4L}{\pi \Delta T})-K_{pb}d_{pb}^2}{K_{Cu}}}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $d_{Cu}=\sqrt{\frac{(33.2)\frac{4(0.650)}{\pi(112-21)}-(34.3)(0.0276)^2}{395}}$ $d_{Cu}=2.64cm$
