A solid copper cube of edges 1 cm is suspended in an evacuated enclosure. Its temperature is found to fall from 100 
to 99 
in 100s. Another solid copper cube of edges 2 cm, with similar surface nature, is suspended in a similar manner. The time required for this cube to cool from 100 
to 99 
will be approximately
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
⇒ ⇒ For the same fall in temperature, time 
⇒ ⇒ dt 2 = 2 × × dt 1 = 2 × × 100 sec = 200 sec
[As A = 6a 2 and m = V × × ρ ρ = a 3 × × ρ ρ ]
