Assume that under certain conditions the heat loss of an object is proportional to the exposed surface area. Relate the heat loss of a cubic object with side length 6 in. to one with a side length of 12 in. Now, consider two irregularly shaped objects, such as two submarines. Relate the heat loss of a 70-ft submarine to that of a 7-ft scale model. Suppose you are interested in the amount of energy needed to maintain a constant internal temperature in the submarine. Relate the energy needed in the actual submarine to that required by the scaled model. Specify the assumptions you have made.
