A body cools from 80 o C to 60 o in 5 minutes. The temperature for the surrounding is 20 o C . The time it takes to cool from 60 o C to 40 o C is
Options
- A450   s
- B420   s
- C500   s
- D25 3   s
Correct answer
C. 500   s
Step-by-step solution
The formula to calculate the rate of cooling of the object is given by d T d t = K T f + T i 2 - T 0       . . . 1 For the first case, it can be written, using equation (1) that 80 - 60 5 = K 80 + 60 2 - 20 4 = 50 K       . . . 2 If t is the required time for the second case, from equation (1), it can be written that 60 - 40 t = K 60 + 40 2 - 20 20 t = 30 K       . . . 3 Divide equation (2) by equation (3) and solve to calculate the required time. 4 20 t = 50 K 30 K V
