Answer:

The temperature is 2541.799 K

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for black body radiation is given by the relation;

Q = eσAT⁴

Where:

Q = Rate of heat transfer 56.6

σ = Stefan-Boltzman constant = 5.67 × 10⁻⁸ W/(m²·k⁴)

A = Surface area of the cube = 6×(3.72 mm)² = 8.3 × 10⁻⁵ m²

e = emissivity = 0.288

T = Temperature

Therefore, we have;

T⁴ = Q/(e×σ×A) = 56.6/(5.67 × 10⁻⁸ × 8.3 × 10⁻⁵ × 0.288) = 4.174 × 10¹⁴ K⁴

T = 2541.799 K

The temperature = 2541.799 K.
