A body cools from 62^(@)C to 50^(@)C in 10 minutes and to 42^(@)C in the next 10 minutes. Find the temperature of surroundings.

Answer»

Solution :For the FIRST ten minutes
`(dT)/(dt)=-((62^(@)-50^(@))/10)=-1/2^(@)C//"min"` and `DeltaT=((62^(@)+50^(@))/2)-T_(0)(56-T_(0))^(@)C`
`implies-1.2^(@)C//"min"=-KA(56-T_(0))^(@)C`………1
Similarly for the next ten minutes
`(dT)/(dt)=[(42^(@)-50^(@))/2]=-0.8^(@)C`/min and
`DeltaT=((42^(@)+50^(@))/2)-T_(0)=(45-T_(0))^(@)C`
`implies-0.8^(@)` C/min=`-KA(45-T_(0))^(@)C`........2
DIVIDING 1 and 2
`3/2=(56^(@)-T_(0))/(46^(@)-T_(0))`
`impliesT_(0)=26^(@)C`
