Two spheres of radii $R_1$ and $R_2$ have densities $\rho_1$ and $\rho_2$ and specific heats $S_1$ and $S_2$. If they are heated to the same temperature,what is the ratio of their rates of cooling?

The temperature of a liquid in a beaker at time $t$ is $\theta(t)$ and the temperature of the surroundings is $\theta_0$. According to Newton's law of cooling,which of the following is the correct graph between $\log_e(\theta - \theta_0)$ and $t$?

Two metallic spheres $S_1$ and $S_2$ are made of the same material and have identical surface finish. The mass of $S_1$ is three times that of $S_2$. Both the spheres are heated to the same high temperature and placed in the same room having lower temperature but are thermally insulated from each other. The ratio of the initial rate of cooling of $S_1$ to that of $S_2$ is

$A$ calorimeter contains $10 \ g$ of water at $20^{\circ}C$. The temperature falls to $15^{\circ}C$ in $10 \ min$. When the calorimeter contains $20 \ g$ of water at $20^{\circ}C$,it takes $15 \ min$ for the temperature to become $15^{\circ}C$. The water equivalent of the calorimeter is: (in $g$)
