A pan pizza cools from 91^(@)C " to "79^(@)C in 2 minutes, on a summer day, when the room temperature is 25^(@)C. How long will the pan pizza take to cool from 91^(@)C to 79^(@)C, on a winter day, when the room temperature is 5^(@)C?

Answer»

`(3)/(2)` minutes
1 minutes
`(1)/(2)` minutes
`(1)/(4)` minutes

Solution :According to Newton.s LAW of cooling `(T_(1) -T_(2))/(t) = K ((T_(1) + T_(2))/(2) - T_(S))`
where `T_(s)` is the surrounding temperature.
For the first case, `T_(1) = 91^(@)C, T_(2) = 79^(@)C, T_(s) = 25^(@)C, t=2` min
`:. (91^(@)C - 79^(@)C)/(2 "min") = K ((91^(@)C + 79^(@)C)/(2) - 25^(@)C)`
or `(12^(@)C)/(2"min") = K(60^(@)C)` ..(i)
For the second case, `T_(1) = 91^(@)C, T_(2) = 79^(@)C, T_(s) = 5^(@)C, t=`?
`:. (91^(@)C - 79^(@)C)/(t) =K ((91^(@)C + 79^(@)C)/(2) -5^(@)C)`
or `(12^(@)C)/(t) = K (80^(@)C)` ...(II)
Dividing eqn. (i) by eqn, (ii) we get
`(t)/(2"min") = (60^(@)C)/(80^(@)C) or t= (3)/(4) (2"min")= (3)/(2)` min
