MCQ
In variable state, the rate of flow of heat is controlled by
  • A
    Density of material
  • B
    Specific heat
  • C
    Thermal conductivity
  • All the above factors

Answer

Correct option: D.
All the above factors
d
(d)In variable state $\frac{Q}{t} \propto K$ and $\frac{Q}{t} \propto \frac{1}{{\rho \,c}}$==> $\frac{Q}{t} \propto \frac{K}{{\rho \,c}}$
 ( $K$ = thermal conductivity, $\rho$ = density, $c$ = specific heat)

A particle of mass $m$ is under the influence of the gravitational field of a body of mass $M(\gg m)$. The particle is moving in a circular orbit of radius $r_0$ with time period $T_0$ around the mass $M$. Then, the particle is subjected to an additional central force, corresponding to the potential energy $V_c(r)=m \alpha / r^3$, where $\alpha$ is a positive constant of suitable dimensions and $r$ is the distance from the center of the orbit. If the particle moves in the same circular orbit of radius $r_0$ in the combined gravitational potential due to $M$ and $V_c(r)$, but with a new time period $T_1$, then $\left(T_1^2-T_0^2\right) / T_1^2$ is given by [ $G$ is the gravitational constant.]
