A metal sphere of radius r and specific heat s is rotated about an axis passing through its centre at a speed of n rotation/s. It is suddenly stopped and 50% of its energy is used in increasing its temperature. Then, the rise in temperature of the sphere is

A steel ball of mass 0.1 kg falls freely from a height of 10m an bounces to a height of 5.4m from the ground. If the dissipated energy in this process is absorbed by the ball, the rise in ots temperature is (Specific heat of steel= 460 JKg^(-1)K^(-1)) (g=10ms^(-2)) .
