Why the cooking is faster in pressure cooker ?
Boiling point is increased inside a pressure cooker by increasing the pressure.
In pressure cooker, by increasing pressure the boiling point of water is increased hence more heat is obtained by food, hence cooking is faster.

A child running a temperature of $101\,^{\circ} F$ is given an antipyrin (i.e. a medicine that lowers fever) which causes an increase in the rate of evaporation of sweat from his body. If the fever is brought down to $98\,^{\circ} F$ in $20$ minutes, what is the average rate of extra evaporation caused, by the drug (in $g/min$). Assume the evaporation mechanism to be the only way by which heat is lost. The mass of the child is $30\; kg$. The spectfic heat of human body is approximately the same as that of water, and latent heat of evaporation of water at that temperature is about $580\; cal \;g^{-1}$.
