Q 1 :    

The temperature of a body in air falls from 40°C to 24°C in 4 minute. The temperature of the air is 16°C. The temperature of the body in the next 4 minutes will be          [2025]

  • 14/3°C

     

  • 28/3°C

     

  • 56/3°C

     

  • 42/3°C

     

(3)

T2T1t=K[TavgTs]

        T1=24°C; T2=40°C; t=4, Ts=16°C

40244=K[3216]

          K=416=14

Now 24T4=K[T+24216]

          24T=T82

            3T2=28  T=563°C



Q 2 :    

A cup of coffee cools from 90°C to 80°C in t minutes when the room temperature is 20°C. The time taken by the similar cup of coffee to cool from 80°C to 60°C at the same room temperature is:          [2025]

  • 135t

     

  • 1013t

     

  • 1310t

     

  • 513t

     

(1)

By using average form of Newton's law of cooling

         9080t=c(90+80220)          ... (i)

and 8060t1=c(80+60220)          ... (ii)

From (i) and (ii)

t1=135t



Q 3 :    

A wire of length 10 cm and diameter 0.5 mm is used in a bulb. The temperature of the wire is 1727°C and power radiated by the wire is 94.2 W. Its emissivity is x8 where x = ________.

(Given σ=6.0×108 Wm2 K4, π=3.14 and assume that the emissivity of wire material is same at all wavelength.)          [2025]



5

L = 10 cm, d = 0.5 mm, T = 1727°C = 2000 K

Power, P = 94.2 W

P=εσAT4

94.2=ε×(16×108)(πdL)(2000)4

94.2=ε×(6×108)(3.14)(0.5)(103)(10×102)(2000)4

ε=58  x=5
