Two spheres of radii $R_1$ and $R_2$ have densities $\rho_1$ and $\rho_2$ and specific heats $S_1$ and $S_2$. If they are heated to the same temperature,what is the ratio of their rates of cooling?

  • A
    $\frac{R_2}{R_1}$
  • B
    $\frac{R_1 \rho_2 S_2}{R_2 \rho_1 S_1}$
  • C
    $\frac{R_2 \rho_2 S_2}{R_1 \rho_1 S_1}$
  • D
    $\left( \frac{R_1}{R_2} \right)^2$
