A liquidtakes 5 minutes to cool from80^(@)Cto50^(@)C . Howmuchtimw will ittake to cool from 60^(@)Cto 30^(@)C? Thetemperatuer of thesurroundingis 20^(@)C .

Answer»

SOLUTION :According to Newton.s law of cooling `(dT)/(dt) = k (T - T_(0))`
If the BODYCOOLS by radiationfrom `T_(1)`to `T_(2)""^(@)C`in time T ,
then `(dT)/(dt) = (T_(1) - T_(2))/(t) and T = T_(ave) = (T_(1) + T_(2))/(2)`
`therefore((T_(1) - T_(2))/(t)) = k[((T_(1) + T_(2))/(2))-T_(0)]`
Substitutingthe values , we get .
`((80 - 50)/(5)) = k[((80 + 50)/(2))-20] to (1) and ((60 -30)/(t)) = k [((60+30)/(2))-20 ] to (2) `
Solvingequations (1) and (2) , we gett = 9 MINUTES .
