(1) A copper wire 0.8 mm diameter at 150°C is suddenly dipped into water at 35°C. If h=85.5 W/m²K, estimate the time required to cool the wire to 95°C. (ii) If the same wire were placed in air instead of water what would have been the time required to cool it to 95°C. h=11.65 W/m²K For Copper: p= 9000 kg/m³, c = 0.38 kJ/kg K, k = 373 W/mK
