A hot placed in air cools down to a lower temperature. The rate of decrease of temperature isproportionalto the temperaturedifference from the surrounding. The body loses 60% and 80% of maximum heat it can loose in time t_(1) and t_(2) respectively. The ratio t_(2)//t_(1) will be

Answer»

`(ln(10))/(ln(2))`
`(ln(8))/(ln(6))`
`(ln(1))/(ln(3))`
`(ln(5))/(ln(5/2))`

Solution :According to Newton.s law of cooling
`-(dT)/(dt) alpha DeltaT ` or `(dT)/(dt)=-K DeltaT`
Solved the above Eq., we get
`T(t)=T_(0)+(T_(1)-T_(0))E^(kt) rArr e^(-kt)=(T(t)-T_(0))/(T_(1)-T_(0))`
or `t=l/k ln (T_(1)-T_(0))/(T(t)-T_(0))`
Where, `T_(1)=` temperature of BODY at `t=0`
`T_(0)=` temperature of SURROUNDING.
Let `T_(1)=0^(@)C`
So, `t=1/k ln (-T_(0))/(T(t)-T_(0))= 1/k ln (-Q_(0))/(Q(t)-Q_(0))` [ `:.Q(t)=mcT(t)`]
According to the question, the body loses 60% and 80% of maximum heat in time `t_(1)` and `t_(2)`
then `t_(1)=1/k ln ((-Q_(0))/((60)/(100)Q_(0)-Q_(0)))` ...(i)
`t_(2)=1/k ln ((-Q_(0))/((80)/(100)Q_(0)-Q_(0)))` ...(ii)
DIVIDE Eqs. (ii) by (i), we get
`t_(2)/t_(1)=(1/k ln ((-Q_(0))/((80)/(100)Q_(0)-Q_(0))))/(1/k ln ((-Q_(0))/(100-Q_(0))))`
`rArr (t_(2))/(t_(1))=(ln((-Q_(0))/((80Q_(0)-100Q_(0))/(100))))/(ln((-Q_(0))/((60Q_(0)-100Q_(0))/100)))=(ln((-Q_(0)xx100)/(-20Q_(0))))/(ln((Q_(0)xx5)/(2Q_(0))))`
`=(ln(5))/(ln(5/2))`
Hence, the correct OPTION is (d).
