Given,
In case 1 , body cools from temperature
70∘ to
40∘C i.e.
T1=70∘C,T2=40∘C and time
t1=5min In case 2 , temperature reduces from
60∘C to
40∘C in time
(t2) i.e,
T3=60∘C,T4=40∘C,t2= ?
Consider temperature of surrounding,
Ts=20∘C.
By using Newton's law of cooling,
tTi−Tf=K(2Ti+Tf−Ts). . . (i)
where,
Ti,Tf be initial and final temperature of body,
t is the time taken by body to reach
Ti to
Tf and
K is thermal heat coefficient.
ccording to first case, By using Eq. (i), we get
t1T1−T2=K(2T1+T2−Ts) ∴570−40=K(270+40−20) ⇒530=K(2110−20)⇒6=K(35) ⇒K=356 According to second case, again by using Eq. (i), we get
t2T3−T4=K(2T3+T4−Ts) t260−40=356(260+40−20) ⇒t260−40=356×30⇒t220=76×6 t2=3620×7=36140=3.89min
