Three solid objects of the same material and of equal mass-a sphere, a cylinder (length = diameter) and a cube are at 500°C initially. These are dropped in a quenching bath containing a large volume of cooling oil each attaining the bath temperature eventually. The time required for 90% change in temperature is the smallest for
cube

If its depends on the surface area we choose the cube, but if we speak about the shape we choose the sphere.

Among options, the cube has larger surface area according to given conditions.

Hence option A is correct.

Omkar said:   2 years ago
The surface area of the cube would be large that's why it would cool fast. So cube is the right answer.

Why not sphere?

According to me, it should be sphere.
