Spheres $P$ and $Q$ are uniformly constructed from the same material which is a good conductor of heat and the radius of $Q$ is thrice the radius of $P$. The rate of fall of temperature of $P$ is $x$ times that of $Q$ when both are at the same surface temperature. The value of $x$ is :
  • A$0.25$
  • B$0.33$
  • C$3$
  • D$4$

    Steel wire of length ' $L$ ' at $40^{\circ} C$ is suspended from the ceiling and then a mass ' $m$ ' is hung from its free end. The wire is cooled down from $40^{\circ} C$ to $30^{\circ} C$ to regain its original length ' $L$ '. The coefficient of linear thermal expansion of the steel is $10^{-5} /{ }^{\circ} C$, Young's modulus of steel is $10^{11} N / m ^2$ and radius of the wire is $1 \ mm$. Assume that $L \gg$ diameter of the wire. Then the value of ' $m$ ' in $kg$ is nearly
