Spheres $P$ and $Q$ are uniformly constructed from the same material,which is a good conductor of heat,and the radius of $Q$ is thrice the radius of $P$. The rate of fall of temperature of $P$ is $x$ times that of $Q$ when both are at the same surface temperature. The value of $x$ is:

  • A
    $0.25$
  • B
    $0.33$
  • C
    $3$
  • D
    $4$

Two spheres of the same material have radii $1 \; m$ and $4 \; m$ and temperatures $4000 \; K$ and $2000 \; K$ respectively. The ratio of the energy radiated per second by the first sphere to that by the second is

The 'Kangri' is an earthen pot used to stay warm in Kashmir during the winter months. Assume that the 'Kangri' is spherical and of surface area $7 \times 10^{-2} \,m^{2}$. It contains $300 \,g$ of a mixture of coal,wood,and leaves with a calorific value of $30 \,kJ/g$ (and provides heat with $10 \%$ efficiency). The surface temperature of the 'Kangri' is $60^{\circ}C$ and the room temperature is $0^{\circ}C$. Then,a reasonable estimate for the duration $t$ (in $h$) that the 'Kangri' heat will last is (take the 'Kangri' to be a black body).
