Detailed Solution

Rate  of cooling of a body  

R = \frac{{\Delta \theta }}{t} = \frac{{A\varepsilon \sigma ({T^4} - T_0^4)}}{{mc}}


 

\Rightarrow R \propto \frac{A}{m} \propto \frac{{{\text{Area}}}}{{{\text{Volume}}}}
\Rightarrow

For the same surface area. 

R \propto \frac{1}{{{\text{Volume}}}}

 
 

\because

Volume of cube < Volume of sphere
 

\Rightarrow {R_{Cube}} > {R_{Sphere}}

   i.e. cube cools down with faster rate
