A room is to be heated with a sphere containing 1 metric tonne of hot water via radiation of energy (its closed system and convection is negligible). The heat loss from the room is 2kW. What temperature (in K) would the sphere of water need to maintain for steady state conditions in the room? Assume perfect blackbody.
