Explanation
A solid aluminium sphere and a solid lead sphere of the same radius are heated to the same temperature and allowed to cool under identical surrounding temperatures. The specific heat capacity of aluminium = $$900\space J/kg^{0}C$$ and that of the lead = $$ 130 \space J/kg^{0}C$$. The density of lead = $$10^{4} \space kg/m^{3}$$ and that of aluminum = $$ 2.7 \times 10^{3} \space kg/m^{3}\space kg/m^{3}$$. Assume that the emissivity of both thespheres is the same
When the temperature of spheres T is not too different from the surrounding temperature, the radiating object obeys
A body of area $$ 0.8 \times 10^{-2} m{-2}$$ and mass $$ 5 \times 10^{-4}kg$$ directly faces the sun on a clear day. The body has an emissivity of 0.8 and specific heat of 0.8 cal/kg K. The surroundings are at $$27^{0}C$$. (solarconstant = 1.4 kW/$$m^{2}$$).
The temperature that the body would reach if it lost all its heat by radiation is
The ration of the rate of fall of temperature of the aluminium sphere to the rate of fall of temperature of the lead sphere is
