How rapidly do rods melt their way through ice cube


A 2 cm ice cube sits on a shelf of widely spaced aluminum rods, 3mm in diameter, in a refrigerator at 10oC. How rapidly, in mm/min, do the rods melt their way through the ice cube if h at the surface of the rods is 10 W/m2K. Also, you can assume that each ice cube has two aluminum rods supporting it.
