A hot liquid kept in a beaker cools from 80^(@)C to 70^(@)C in two minutes. If the surrounding temperature is 30^(@)C then the time of cooling of the same liquid from 60^(@)C to 50^(@)C is :

Answer»

240 s
480 s
360 s
216 s.

Solution :(d) : According to Newton.s LAW of cooling
`(theta_(1)-theta_(2))/(t)=K[(theta_(1)+theta_(2))/(2)-theta_(0)]`
where `theta_(0)` is temperature of currounding.
`:.(80-70)/(2)=K[(80+70)/(2)-30]` . . . (i)
Also `(60-50)/(t)=K[(60+50)/(2)-30]`. . . (II)
DIVIDING (i) by (ii) we have :
`t/2=(75-30)/(55-30)rArr(t)/(2)=(45)/(25)`
`rArrt=(45)/(25)xx2=(90)/(25)=(18)/(5)=3*6` minutes.
`=216` seconds
correct CHOICE is (d).
