    Two spheres of radii in the ratio 1:2 and densities in the ratio 2:1 and of same specific heat, are heated to same temperature and left in the same surrounding. Their rate of cooling will be in the ratio :

    A)  2:1                                        

    B)  1:1

    C)  1 : 2                                      

    D)  1 : 4

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                                             The formula for rate of cooling is given by \[=\frac{mc\,\theta }{t}\] As, mass = volume \[\times \] density Mass of sphere \[=\frac{4}{3}\pi {{r}^{2}}\times \rho ,\] where \[\rho \] is density Mass per unit area                 \[=\frac{4}{3}\pi {{r}^{2}}=\frac{\frac{4}{3}\pi {{r}^{3}}\times \rho }{4\pi {{r}^{2}}}=\frac{1}{3}r\rho \] Hence, rate of cooling per unit area must be proportional to \[r\rho \]. (here r is the radius of sphere and p is the density. Hence, ratio of rate of cooling for two spheres Is                                 \[=\frac{{{r}_{1}}{{\rho }_{1}}}{{{r}_{2}}{{\rho }_{2}}}\] where \[{{r}_{1}}:{{r}_{2}}=1:2\] and \[{{\rho }_{1}}:{{\rho }_{2}}=2:1\]                                          \[=\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{2}{1}=1:1\]
