Two identical balls, $A$ and $B$ , of uniform composition and initially at the same temperature, each absorb exactly the same amount of heat. $A$ is hanging down from the ceiling while $B$ rests on the horizontal floor in the same room. Assuming no subsequent heat loss by the balls, which of the following statements is correct about their final temperatures, $T_A$ and $T_B$ , once the balls have reached their final state?
  • A$T_A < T_B$
  • B$T_A > T_B$
  • C$T_A = T_B$
  • D$T_A \leq  T_B$
