The 'Kangri' is an earthen pot used to stay warm in Kashmir during the winter months. Assume that the 'Kangri' is spherical and of surface area $7 \times 10^{-2} \,m^{2}$. It contains $300 \,g$ of a mixture of coal,wood,and leaves with a calorific value of $30 \,kJ/g$ (and provides heat with $10 \%$ efficiency). The surface temperature of the 'Kangri' is $60^{\circ}C$ and the room temperature is $0^{\circ}C$. Then,a reasonable estimate for the duration $t$ (in $h$) that the 'Kangri' heat will last is (take the 'Kangri' to be a black body).
