In cryogenic surgery, a small spherical probe is brought into contact with the diseased tissue which is frozen and thereby destroyed. One such probe can be modeled as a 3-mm diameter sphere whose surface is maintained at 240 K when the surrounding tissue is at 314 K. During the surgical procedure, a thin layer of tissue freezes around the probe at a temperature of 273 K. Assuming that the thermal conductivity of a frozen tissue is 1.5 W/(m K) and the heat transfer mechanism at the surface is described by the effective convective coefficient of 50 W/(m2 K), estimate the thickness of frozen tissue formed during a 30 min long operation.

Why is Saturn almost as large in radius as Jupiter despite its smaller mass?

A) Jupiter's greater mass compresses it more, thus increasing its density. B) Saturn's rings make the planet look bigger. C) Saturn is farther from the Sun, thus cooler, and therefore less compact. D) Saturn has a larger proportion of hydrogen and helium than Jupiter, and is therefore less dense. E) Jupiter's strong magnetic field constrains its size.
