The ratio of rate of loss of heat by a black body at 227oC to 127oC in a surrounding at 27oC is ____________.
A metal ball of mass 1 kg is heated by means of a 20 W heater in a room at 200 C. The temperature of the ball becomes steady at 500 C. (a) Find the rate of loss of heat to the surrounding when the ball is at 500 C (b) Assuming Newton's law of cooling, calculate the rate of loss of heat to the surrounding when the ball is at 300 C. (c) Assume that the temperature of the ball risks uniformly from 200 C to 300 C in 5 minutes. Find the total loss of heat to the surrounding during this period (d) Calculate the specific heat capacity of the metal.
