A cubic metal block of mass $5 \,kg$ and edge length $0.1 \,m$ and at an initial temperature of $100^{\circ} C$ is placed on a thermally insulating flat surface and exposed to air at $0^{\circ} C$. The time in seconds required to cool the block to a temperature of $37^{\circ} C$ is closest to

(Note: Specific heat of the metal $=500 \,J / kg /{ }^{\circ} C$; Heat transfer coefficient from block to air $=50 \,W / m ^2 /{ }^{\circ} C$ )
