A steel sphere of radius 0.1 m at 400°K is immersed in an oil at 300°K. If the centre of the sphere reaches 350°K in 20 minutes, how long will it take for a 0.05 m radius steel sphere to reach the same temperature (at the centre) under identical conditions? Assume that the conductive heat transfer co-efficient is infinitely large?
A20 minutes
B40 minutes
C10 minutes
D5 minutes
Correct answer
D. 5 minutes
Explanation
The correct answer is 5 minutes.
