Q.

A body cools in 7 minutes from 60°C to 40°C. The temperature of the surrounding is 10°C. The temperature of the body after the next 7 minutes will be         [2023]

1 32°C  
2 30°C  
3 28°C  
4 34°C  

Ans.

(3)

Using average rate of Newton's law of cooling

T1-T2t=K(T1+T22-Ts)

Given 60-407=K(50-10)                     ...(i)

         40-T7=K(40+T2-10)                  ...(ii)

From (i) and (ii), T=28°C
