10-2.Transmission of Heat
hard

The initial temperature of a body is $80°C$ . If its temperature falls to $64°C$ in $5$ minutes and in $10$ minutes to $52°C$ then the temperature of surrounding will be ...... $^oC$

A

$26$

B

$49$

C

$35$

D

$42$

Solution

(b) According to Newton's law $\frac{{{\theta _1} – {\theta _2}}}{t} = k\left[ {\frac{{{\theta _1} + {\theta _2}}}{2} – {\theta _0}} \right]$
Initially,
$\frac{{(80 – 64)}}{5} = K\,\left( {\frac{{80 + 64}}{2} – {\theta _0}} \right)$ ==> $3.2 = K[72 – {\theta _0}]$ … $(i)$
Finally
$\frac{{(64 – 52)}}{{10}} = K\,\left[ {\frac{{64 + 52}}{2} – {\theta _0}} \right]$ ==> $1.2 = K[58 – {\theta _0}]$…$(ii)$
On solving equation $(i)$ and $(ii)$  ${\theta _0} = 49^\circ C$.
