solving for thermal conductivity-k for metal?

One end of insulated rod is maintained in 100C and the other end is at 0 C by an ice-water, the rod is 60 cm long and has a cross section area of 1.25cm2. the heat from the rod melts 8.50 g of ice in 10 mins..Find the thermal conductivity-k of the metal.

You melt 8.5 gm of ice in 10 mins, which is a power, once you apply the latent heat of fusion of water. Now you have left is the temperature difference, the cross-sectional area and the length.

The units of thermal conductivity are W/m-K
