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]
(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
