a. the conduction resistance in a ball should be very large compared to the convection resistance for heat transfer from surface of ball to water
b. the conduction resistance in a ball should be very small compared to the convection resistance for heat transfer from surface of ball to water
c. the conduction resistance in a ball should be equal to the convection resistance for heat transfer from surface of ball to water
d. cannot say

ANSWER: the conduction resistance in a ball should be very small compared to the convection resistance for heat transfer from surface of ball to water
