$A$ cubic metal block of mass $5 \,kg$ and edge length $0.1 \,m$ at an initial temperature of $100^{\circ} C$ is placed on a thermally insulating flat surface and exposed to air at $0^{\circ} C$. The time in seconds required to cool the block to a temperature of $37^{\circ} C$ is closest to. (Note: Specific heat of the metal $= 500 \,J/kg/^{\circ}C$; Heat transfer coefficient from block to air $= 50 \,W/m^2/^{\circ}C$)
