$A$ cube of side $1 \ m$ has a temperature of $127^{\circ}C$ and an emissivity of $\frac{1}{5.67}$. If the surrounding temperature is $27^{\circ}C$,the rate of loss of heat by radiation is ...... $kW$.

$A$ rectangular black body of temperature $127^{\circ} C$ has surface area $4 \ cm \times 2 \ cm$ and rate of radiation is $E$. If its temperature is increased by $400^{\circ} C$ and surface area is reduced to half of the initial value,then the rate of radiation is:

$A$ black rectangular surface of area $A$ emits energy $E$ per unit time at $27^{\circ}C$. If length and breadth are reduced to $(1/4)^{th}$ of their initial values and the temperature is raised to $327^{\circ}C$, then the energy emitted per unit time becomes:

$A$ solid cylinder of radius $r_1=2.5 \ cm$, length $l_1=5.0 \ cm$ and temperature $40^{\circ}C$ is suspended in an environment of temperature $60^{\circ}C$. The thermal radiation transfer rate for the cylinder is $1.0 \ W$. If the cylinder is stretched until its radius becomes $r_2=0.50 \ cm$, the thermal radiation transfer rate is changed to (in $W$)
