A glass windowpane in a home is 0.62 cm thick and has dimensions of 1.30 m × 1.72 m. On a certain day, the indoor temperature is 26°C and the outdoor temperature is 0°C. (Assume the thermal conductivity of the glass is 0.8 J/s · m · °C.)
(a) What is the rate at which energy is transferred by heat through the glass?
(b) How much energy is lost through the window in one day, assuming the temperatures inside and outside remain constant?

(a) For the rate, use the formula
dQ/dt = k A dT/ex

(b) For total energy loss, multiply by time (in seconds)
