Properties Of Solids And Liquids Question 458

Question: A body cools in a surrounding of constant temperature 39C . Its heat capacity is2J/kgC . Initial temperature of the body is49C . Assume Newton’s law of cooling is valid. The body cools to 38C in 19 minutes. In further 19 minutes it will cool from 38C to

Options:

A) 36C

B) 36.4C

C) 37C

D) 37.5C

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

[b] We haveθθs=(θ0θs)ekt ….(l)

where θ0 = initial temperature of body =40C

θ= temperature of body after time t θs= temperature of surrounding Since body cools from 40Cto38C in 10 min, we have 3830=(4030)e10k ….(2)

Let after 10 min, the body temp. be θ .

θ30=(3830)e10k …..(3)

Dividing equ. (2) by equ. (3) gives, 8oθ30o=10o8oθ30o=6.4oθ=36.4o
