The following question based on light, heat, thermodynamics, wave motion, sound, optics & oscillations topic of general science mcq

Questions : 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) the sphere cools down faster than the cube

(b) both the cube and the sphere cool down at the same rate

(c) the cube cools down faster than the sphere

(d) whichever is having more mass will cool down faster

The correct answers to the above question in:

Answer: (c)

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.
