    A black coloured solid sphere of radius R and mass M is inside a cavity with vacuum inside. The walls of the cavity are maintained at temperature \[{{T}_{0}}.\] The initial temperature of the sphere is \[3{{T}_{0}}.\]If the specific heat of the material of the sphere varies as \[\alpha {{T}^{3}}\]per unit mass with the temperature T of the sphere, where \[\alpha \] is a constant, then the time taken for the sphere to cool down to temperature \[2{{T}_{0}}\]  will be (\[\sigma \]is Stefan Boltzmann constant)     JEE Main Online Paper (Held On 19 April 2016)

    A) \[\frac{M\alpha }{4\pi {{R}^{2}}\sigma }\ln \left( \frac{3}{2} \right)\]      

    B) \[\frac{M\alpha }{4\pi {{R}^{2}}\sigma }\ln \left( \frac{16}{3} \right)\]

    C) \[\frac{M\alpha }{16\pi {{R}^{2}}\sigma }\ln \left( \frac{16}{3} \right)\]  

    D) \[\frac{M\alpha }{16\pi {{R}^{2}}\sigma }\ln \left( \frac{3}{2} \right)\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    In the given problem, fall in temperature of sphere, \[dT=(3{{T}_{0}}-2{{T}_{0}})={{T}_{0}}\] Temperature of surrounding, \[{{T}_{surr}}={{T}_{0}}\] Initial temperature of sphere, \[{{T}_{initial}}=3{{T}_{0}}\] Specific heat of the material of the sphere varies as, \[c=\alpha {{T}^{3}}\]per unit mass (\[\alpha =a\] constant) Applying formula, \[\frac{dT}{dt}=\frac{\sigma A}{McJ}\left( {{T}^{4}}-T_{surr}^{4} \right)\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[\frac{{{T}_{0}}}{dt}=\frac{\sigma 4\pi {{R}^{2}}}{M\alpha {{\left( 3{{T}_{0}} \right)}^{3}}J}\left[ {{\left( 3{{T}_{0}} \right)}^{4}}-{{\left( {{T}_{0}} \right)}^{4}} \right]\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[dt=\frac{M\alpha 27T_{0}^{4}J}{\sigma 4\pi {{R}^{2}}\times 80T_{0}^{4}}\]Solving we get, Time taken for the sphere to cool down temperature \[2{{T}_{0}}\],\[t=\frac{M\alpha }{16\pi {{R}^{2}}\sigma }\ln \left( \frac{16}{3} \right)\]
