A body cools from 80 °C to 50 °C in 5 minutes. Calculate the time it takes to cool from 60 °C to 30 °C. The temperature of the surroundings is 20 °C.

It is given in the question that:

Temperature of the surroundings = To = 20 °C

According to Newton’s law of cooling,

-dtdt=K(T-T0)dTK(T-T0)=-Kdt    .....i

Where,

The temperature of the body = T

K = constant

When the temperature of the body falls from 80°C to 50°C in time, t = 5 min = 300 s

Integrating equation (i), 

5080dTKT-T0=-0300Kdt

loge(T-T0)5080=-Kt03002.3026Klog1080-2050-20=-3002.3026Klog102=-300K=-2.3026300log102            

Let the temperature of the body falls from 60°C to 30°C in time = t.
Hence,

2.3026Klog1060-2030-20=-t-2.3026tlog104=K         ....iii

Equating equations (ii) and (iii),

-2.3026tlog104=-2.3026300log102t=300×2=600 s=10 min

Therefore, the time taken to cool the body from 60°C to 30°C is 10 minutes.
