1.	One end of a uniform rod of length 1 m is placed in boiling water while its other end is placed in melting ice. A point P on the rod is maintained at a constant temperature of \[800{}^\circ C\]. The mass of steam produced per second is equal to the mass of ice melted per second. If specific latent heat of steam is 7 times the specific latent heat of ice, the distance of P from the steam chamber must be
