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
    $1/3$
  • B
    $(1/3)^{1/3}$
  • C
    $1/\sqrt{3}$
  • D
    $\sqrt{3}/1$

The rate of cooling at $600 \ K$ is $R$,given the surrounding temperature is $300 \ K$. What is the rate of cooling at $900 \ K$?

Two solid spheres of radii $R_1$ and $R_2$ are made of the same material and have similar surfaces. The spheres are raised to the same temperature and then allowed to cool under identical conditions. Assuming the spheres to be perfect conductors of heat,the ratio of their initial rates of cooling is:
