The specific heat capacity of a metal at low temperature $T$ is given as $C_p = 32 \left( \frac{T}{400} \right)^3 \text{ kJ K}^{-1} \text{ kg}^{-1}$. $A$ $100 \text{ g}$ vessel of this metal is to be cooled from $20 \text{ K}$ to $4 \text{ K}$ by a special refrigerator operating at room temperature $27^\circ \text{C}$. The amount of work required to cool the vessel is

  • A
    equal to $0.002 \text{ kJ}$
  • B
    greater than $0.148 \text{ kJ}$
  • C
    between $0.148 \text{ kJ}$ and $0.028 \text{ kJ}$
  • D
    less than $0.028 \text{ kJ}$
