NEET2016PhysicsThermal Properties of MatterActual
A body cools from a temperature 3 T to 2 T in 10 minutes. The room temperature is T . Assume that Newton's law of cooling is applicable. The temperature of the body at the end of next 10 minutes will be
Options
- A7 4 T
- B3 2 T
- C4 3 T
- DT
Correct answer
B. 3 2 T
Step-by-step solution
T 1 - T 2 ∆ t = K T 1 + T 2 2 - T 0 3 T - 2 T 10 = K 2.5 T - T ⇒ T 10 = K 1.5 T K = 1 15 Now, 2 T - x 10 = K 2 T + x 2 - T Solving x = 3 T 2
