The quantities of heat required to raise the temperature of two solid copper spheres of radii and () through K are in the ratio:
To solve this problem, we need to determine the ratio of the heat required to raise the temperature of two copper spheres.The heat required to raise the temperature of a solid sphere is given by:where is the mass, is the specific heat capacity, and is the change in temperature.For a sphere, the mass can be expressed as:where is the density and is the volume of the sphere.Thus, the heat required for each sphere is:Given that we substitute this into the expressions for and Simplifying Now, find the ratio Cancel out the common terms:Convert to a fraction:Therefore, the ratio of the heat required is This corresponds to Option 4.
