Q.

A body cools from 60°C to 40°C in 6 minutes. If the temperature of the surroundings is 10°C, then after the next 6 minutes, its temperature will be _____ °C.        [2023]


Ans.

(28)

By average form of Newton's law of cooling

206=k(50-10)                                      ...(i)

40-T6=k(40+T2-10)                      ...(ii)

From equations (i) and (ii)

2040-T=4010+T2

10+T2=80-2T

5T2=70  T=28°C
