An object kept in a large room having air temperature of 25°C takes 12 minutes to cool from 80°C to 70°C. The time taken to cool for the same object from 70°C to 60°C would be nearly,
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
(i) ; (ii) Divide eq
Given that,
Initial air temperature, T 0 = 25° C
Initial temperature of object, T 1 = 80° C
Final temperature of object, T 2 = 70° C
Initial temperature of object, T' 1 = 70° C
Final temperature of object, T 2 = 60° C
Now,
By using Newton's law of cooling for the given case we get

....(i)
....(ii)
Divide eq. (t) by (ii)
