MCQ
A sphere, a cube and a thin circular plate; all are of the same material and same mass and all of them are initially heated to same high temperature. Then:
  • A
    Plate will cool fastest and cube the slowest.
  • B
    Sphere will cool fastest and cube the slowest.
  • C
    Plate will cool fastest and sphere the slowest.
  • D
    Cube will cool fastest and plate the slowest.

Answer

  1. Plate will cool fastest and sphere the slowest.

Explanation:

The surface area of sphere < surface area of the cube for the given same mass and same density.

The rate of cooling ∝  area of contact with surroundings.

The plate will cool faster than the sphere.
