In the given problem, fall in temperature of sphere, dT=(3T0−2T0)=T0 Temperature of surrounding, Tsurr =T0 Initial temperature of sphere, Tinitial =3T0 Specific heat of the material of the sphere varies as, c=αT3 per unit mass (α= a constant ) Applying formula,
dT
dt
=
σA
McJ
(T4−Tsurr4) ⇒

dt
=
σ4πR2
Mα(3T0)3J
[(3T0)4−(T0)4] ⇒dt=
Mα27T04J
σ4πR2×80T04
Solving we get, Time taken for the sphere to cool down temperature 2T0, T=
