Mass m of a liquid A is kept in a cup at a temperature of 90∘C. When placed in a room having temperature of 20∘C, it takes 5 min for the temperature of the liquid to drop to 30∘C. Another liquid B having nearly the same density as A and of mass m, kept in another identical cup at 50∘C takes 5 min for its temperature to fall to 30∘C when placed in a room having temperature 20∘C. If the two liquids at 90∘C and 50∘C are mixed in a calorimeter where no heat is allowed to leak, find the final temperature of the mixture. Assume that Newton's law of cooling is applicable for the given temperature ranges.

Mass m of a liquid A is kept in a cup at a temperature of 90C. When placed in a room having temperature of 20C, it takes 5 min for the temperature of the liquid to drop to 30C. Another liquid B having nearly the same density as A and of mass m, kept in another identical cup at 50C takes 5 min for its temperature to fall to 30C when placed in a room having temperature 20C. If the two liquids at 90C and 50C are mixed in a calorimeter where no heat is allowed to leak, find the final temperature of the mixture. Assume that Newton's law of cooling is applicable for the given temperature ranges.
