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?

  • A
    $\frac{R_2}{R_1}$
  • B
    $\frac{R_1 \rho_2 S_2}{R_2 \rho_1 S_1}$
  • C
    $\frac{R_2 \rho_2 S_2}{R_1 \rho_1 S_1}$
  • D
    $\left( \frac{R_1}{R_2} \right)^2$

$A$ container with $1 \ kg$ of water is kept in sunlight, which causes the water to get warmer than the surroundings. The average energy per unit time per unit area received from sunlight is $700 \ W \ m^{-2}$ and it is absorbed by the water over an effective area of $0.05 \ m^2$. Assuming that the heat loss from the water to the surroundings is governed by Newton's law of cooling, the difference (in $^{\circ}C$) in the temperature of water and the surroundings after a long time will be. . . . . . . . (Ignore the effect of the container, and take the constant for Newton's law of cooling $k = 0.001 \ s^{-1}$, Heat capacity of water $s = 4200 \ J \ kg^{-1} \ K^{-1}$)
