Question
A solid cube and a solid sphere of identical material and equal masses are heated to the same temperature and left to cool in the same surroundings. Then,

Answer

(b)

Area of cube is more than that of a sphere for same mass and density.

Cube also have sharp edges that radiates more effectively than a flat surface.

So, rate of cooling for cube is much rapid than sphere. Effect of sharp edges is prominent only at very high

temperatures. So, option $(b)$ is correct.
