Two identical balls,$A$ and $B$,of uniform composition and initially at the same temperature,each absorb exactly the same amount of heat. $A$ is hanging from the ceiling while $B$ rests on the horizontal floor in the same room. Assuming no subsequent heat loss by the balls,which of the following statements is correct about their final temperatures,$T_A$ and $T_B$,once the balls have reached their final state?

  • A
    $T_A < T_B$
  • B
    $T_A > T_B$
  • C
    $T_A = T_B$
  • D
    $T_A \leq T_B$
