    A solid copper cube of edges \[1\ cm\] is suspended in an evacuated enclosure. Its temperature is found to fall from \[{{100}^{o}}C\] to \[{{99}^{o}}C\] in \[100\ s\]. 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 \[{{100}^{o}}C\] to \[{{99}^{o}}C\] will be approximately               [MP PMT 1997]

    A)            \[25\ s\]                                 

    B)            \[50\ s\]

    C)            \[200\ s\]                               

    D)            \[400\ s\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                       Rate of cooling \[\frac{\Delta \theta }{t}=\frac{A\varepsilon \sigma ({{T}^{4}}-T_{0}^{4})}{mc}\]                    Þ \[t\propto \frac{m}{A}\]           \[[\because \ \ \Delta \theta ,\ t,\ \sigma ,\ \ ({{T}^{4}}-T_{0}^{4})\ \text{are}\ \text{constant}]\]                    Þ \[t\propto \frac{m}{A}\propto \frac{\text{Volume}}{\text{Area}}\propto \frac{{{a}^{3}}}{{{a}^{2}}}\] Þ\[t\propto a\] Þ \[\frac{{{t}_{1}}}{{{t}_{2}}}=\frac{{{a}_{1}}}{{{a}_{2}}}\]            Þ \[\frac{100}{{{t}_{2}}}=\frac{1}{2}\] Þ\[{{t}_{2}}=200sec.\]
