Q. The quantities of heat required to raise the temperature of two solid copper spheres of radii $r_1$ and $r_2$ $(r_1 = 1.5 \,r_2$) through 1 K are in the ratio :

Solution:

Heat supplied $\Delta\,Q =MS\,\Delta\,T$
For same material ā€˜s’ remains the same
$\Delta\,Q \propto\,M$ and $M=\frac{4}{3}\pi\,r^{3}\,\rho$
$\Rightarrow \frac{\Delta\,Q_{1}}{\Delta\,Q_{2}}$
$=\left(\frac{r_{1}}{r_{2}}\right)^{3}$
$=\left(\frac{1.5}{1}\right)^{3}$
$=\frac{27}{8}$
