The 'Kangri' is an earthen pot used to stay warm in Kashmir during the winter months. Assume that the 'Kangri' is spherical and of surface area $7 \times 10^{-2} \,m^{2}$. It contains $300 \,g$ of a mixture of coal,wood,and leaves with a calorific value of $30 \,kJ/g$ (and provides heat with $10 \%$ efficiency). The surface temperature of the 'Kangri' is $60^{\circ}C$ and the room temperature is $0^{\circ}C$. Then,a reasonable estimate for the duration $t$ (in $h$) that the 'Kangri' heat will last is (take the 'Kangri' to be a black body).

$A$ solid copper sphere of density $\rho$,specific heat capacity $C$ and radius $r$ is initially at $200 \ K$. It is suspended inside a chamber whose walls are at $0 \ K$. The time required (in $\mu s$) for the temperature of the sphere to drop to $100 \ K$ is ( $\sigma$ is Stefan's constant and all the quantities are in $SI$ units.)

The temperature of a perfect black body is $727^{\circ}C$ and its surface area is $0.1\, m^{2}$. If the Stefan-Boltzmann constant is $\sigma = 5.67 \times 10^{-8} \, W/m^{2} \cdot K^{4}$,then the heat radiated in $1\, min$ is ........ $cal$.
