A body cools from 60^(@)C,50^(@)C in 10 minutes. If the room temperature is 25^(@)C and assuming Newton's law of cooling to hold good, the temperature of the body at the end of the next 10 minutes will be :

Answer»

`40^(@)C`
`38.5^(@)C`
`45^(@)C`
`42.85^(@)C`.

Solution :According to Newton.s law of cooling
`(theta_(1)-theta_(2))/(t)=K[(theta_(1)+theta_(2))/(2)-theta_(0)]`
`:.""(60-50)/(10)=K[(60+50)/(2)-25]`. . . (i)
In SECOND case, if T be the final temperature after 10 MINUTES.
Then `(50-theta)/(10)=K[(50+theta)/(3)-25]` . . . (ii)
Dividing (i) by (ii)
`(10)/(50-7)=(30)/(theta/2)rArr10theta=60xx50-60T`.
`70theta=60xx50`
`theta=(60xx50)/(70)=(300)/(7)=42*85^(@)C`
Correct CHOICE is (d).
