A body takes 4 min to cool from 61 ° C to 59 ° C . If the temperature of the surroundings is 30 ° C , the time taken by the body to cool from 51 ° C to 49 ° C is:
Options
- A4   min .
- B3   min .
- C8   min .
- D6   min .
Correct answer
D. 6   min .
Step-by-step solution
Δ T Δ t = K T t - T S   T t = average temperature T S = surrounding temperature 61 - 59 4 = K 61 + 59 2 - 30   . . . ( i ) 51 - 49 t = K 51 + 49 2 - 30     . . . ii Divide ( 1 ) and ( 2 ) t 4 = 60 - 30 50 - 30 = 30 20 So, t = 6 min
