The time taken by a liquid to cool from 65^(@)C to 55^(@)C is 5 minutes and cools to 47^(@)C in the next 5 minutes, calculate the room temperature and the temperature of the body after another 5 minutes.

Answer»

Solution :`log((theta_(2)-theta_(0))/(theta_(1)-theta_(0)))=(-K)/(mc)t=-K.T` where `K.=K/(mc)` is a constant
`theta_(0)=65^(@)C,theta_(0)=55^(@)C,t=5 "minutes", theta_(0)=?`
`"log"((55-theta_(0))/(65-theta_(0)))=K.xx5` …(i)
For second part
`theta_(1)=55^(@)C, theta_(2)=47^(@)Candt=5"minutes"`
`"log"((47-theta_(0))/(55-theta_(0)))=-K.xx5`
From the EQUATION (i) and (II)
`"log"((55-theta_(0))/(65-theta_(0)))="log"((47-theta_(0))/(55-theta_(0)))`
`(55-theta_(0))/(65-theta_(0))=(47-theta_(0))/(55-theta_(0))`
`(55-theta_(0))^(2)=(65-theta_(0))(47-theta_(0))`
`55^(2)-2xx55xxtheta_(0)+theta_(0)^(2)=65xx47-65theta_(0)-47theta_(0)+theta_(0)^(2)`
`3025-110theta_(0)=3055-112theta_(0)`
`theta_(0)=15^(@)C`
LET `theta` be the temperature after another 5 minutes
`"log"(theta-15)/(47-15)="log"((47-15)/(55-15))`
`(theta-15)/32=32/(40)`
`theta=40.6^(@)C`
ANOTHER METHOD
From Newton.s law of cooling
Rate of cooling `prop`{MEAN difference of temperature between the body and the surroundings
`(65-55)/(5) prop((54+55)/2)-theta_(0)`
`2 prop 60-theta_(0)` ...(i)
`(55-47)/5prop((55+47)/2)-theta_(0)` ...(ii)
`8/(5)prop51-theta_(0)`
dividing equation (i) and (ii)
`(2xx5)/8=(60-theta_(0))/(51-theta_(0))`
`510-10theta_(0)=480-8theta_(0)`
`theta_(0)=30/(2)=15^(@)C`
let `theta` be the temperature after another 5 minutes
`(47-theta)/5prop((47+theta)/2)-15` ...(iii)
from equation (i)`2prop60-theta_(0)`
`2prop60-15`
`2prop45` ...(iv)
Dividing equation (iii) and (iv)
`(47-theta )/(5xx2)=((47+theta)/2-15)/45`
`47-theta/10=47/(2xx45)+theta/(2xx45)-15/(45)`
Solving,`theta=40.6^(@)C`
