10-2.Transmission of Heat
normal
A body cools from $62\,^oC$ to $50\,^oC$ in $10\, minutes$ and to $42\,^oC$ is next $10\, minutes$. The temp. of surrounding is ........ $^oC$
A
$16$
B
$26$
C
$36$
D
$21$
Solution
Newton's law of cooling
using $\quad \frac{\Delta \mathrm{T}}{\text { time }}=\frac{1}{\mathrm{K}}\left[\frac{\theta_{1}+\theta_{2}}{2}-\theta_{0}\right]$
$\frac{62-50}{10}=\frac{1}{\mathrm{K}}\left[\frac{62+50}{2}-\theta\right]$
$\frac{50-42}{10}=\frac{1}{\mathrm{K}}\left[\frac{50+42}{2}-\theta\right]$
on dividing and solving
$\theta=26^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$
