11.22:
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 = = 20 °C
According to Newton’s law of cooling,
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),
Let the temperature of the body falls from 60°C to 30°C in time = t.
Hence,
Equating equations (ii) and (iii),
Therefore, the time taken to cool the body from 60°C to 30°C is 10 minutes.
