A container is filled with a liquid that cools from 100 ""^(@)C to 70 ""^(@)C. The times that it must have taken to cool down to 80 ""^(@)C from its initial temperature approximately is

Answer»

1.7 min
2.6 min
8.2 min
4.1 min

Solution :GIVEN that ,
In first case,
`{:(T_1=100^@C),(T_2=70^@C):}""|""{:(T_0=30^@C),("time,"t_1=5min=300s):}`
According to Newton. s law of cooling,
`mc((T_(1)-T_(2))/(t))=K ((T_(1)+T_(2))/(2)-T_(0))`
`mc[(100-70)/(300)] = k [(100+70)/(2)-30]`
`mc[(30)/(300)] =k[(170)/(2)-30]`
`mc[(1)/(10)] = k [85-30]`
`rArr mc ((1)/(10)) = k(55)`
For, second case,
`{:(T_1=100^@C),(T_2=80^@C):}""|""{:(T_0=30^@C),("time,"t_2=t.min=t.s):}`
According to Newton. s law of cooling ,
`mc[(100-80)/(t.)]=k [(100+80)/(2)-30]`
`mc[(20)/(t.)]=k[90-30]`
`rArr mc[(20)/(t.)]=k[60]`
After, solving Eqs: (i) and (ii), we get t. = 3. 05 min (NEAREST answer isb)
