Q-5)   A solid cube and a solid sphere of the same material have equal surface area. Both are at the same temperture 120°C , then

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

Explanation:

Rate of cooling of a body R = ${Δϴ}/t = {Aɛσ(T^4 - {T_O}^4)}/{mc}$

⇒ $R ∝ A/m ∝ \text"Area"/\text"Volume"[m = ρ×V]$

⇒ For the same surface area. $R ∝ 1/\text"Volume"$

Since Volume of cube < Volume of a sphere

⇒ $R_{cube} > R_{Sphere}$

i.e., the cube cools down at a faster rate.
