An electric kitchen range has a total wall area of 1.40 m2 and is insulated with a layer of fiberglass 4.0 cm thick.  The inside surface of the fiberglass has a temperature of 175 degrees C and its outside surface is at 35 degrees C.  The fiberglass has a thermal conductivity of 0.040 W/(m*K). What is the heat current through the insulation, assuming it may be treated as a flat slab with an area of 1.40 m2? What electric-power input to the heating element is required to maintain this temperature?
