Question
A solid copper sphere (density ρ and specific heat capacity (c) of radius r at an initial temperature 200K is suspended inside a chamber whose walls are at almost 0K. The time required (in μ s) for the temperature of the sphere to drop to 100 K is 
Options:
A .  807rρcσ
B .  780rρcσ
C .  277rρcσ
D .  727rρcσ
Answer: Option B
:
B
dTdt=σAmcJ(T4T40) [In the given problem fall in temperature of body dT=(200-100)=100K , temp. of surrounding T0=0K, Initial temperature of body T=200k].
100dt=σ4πr243πr3ρcJ(200404)
dt=rρcJ48σ×106s=rρcσ.4.248×106 [As J = 4.2]
780rρcσμs
