Question: A landslide is causing boulders to fall from a mountain. If thesurrounding air is still ( not moving ) and at a temperature of 2

A landslide is causing boulders to fall from a mountain. If thesurrounding air is still (not moving) and at a temperature of 25\deg C, andtwo boulders of diameters 1.5 m (Boulder #1) and 3.5 m (Boulder #2)fall one after another with velocities of 1 m/s and 20 m/s respectively,which of the two boulders has the higher average heat transfercoefficient on its surface and why (explain in a sentence or two).Forallthecalculations, use density=1,092 kg/m', specific heat=1014 J/kg-K, absoluteviscosity=19.123\times 10- Pars, Prandtl number=-0,71, and thermal conductivity=0.0265 W/m K for air.
