If we dig down into the Earth, we find that the temperature rises with increasing depth. This indicates that heat is flowing out from the center of the Earth. The rate of heat flow per unit area is measured to be about 80 ergs/cm2/sec. a) Give the total rate of loss of heat of the Earth’s interior, in ergs/sec. b) Most solids have a heat capacity which is about 3kT per atom. Assume that the typical atom in the Earth’s...
