JEE Main & Advanced Physics Transmission of Heat Question Bank Radiation Newton's Law of Cooling

  • question_answer
    If a metallic sphere gets cooled from \[{{62}^{o}}C\] to \[{{50}^{o}}C\] in \[{{40}^{o}}C\]and in the next \[10\ \min utes\]gets cooled to \[{{42}^{o}}C\], then the temperature of the surroundings is   [MP PET 1997]

    A)            \[{{30}^{o}}C\]                    

    B)            \[{{36}^{o}}C\]

    C)            \[{{26}^{o}}C\]                    

    D)            \[{{20}^{o}}C\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                       \[\frac{{{\theta }_{1}}-{{\theta }_{2}}}{t}=K\left[ \frac{{{\theta }_{1}}+{{\theta }_{2}}}{2}-{{\theta }_{0}} \right]\] In the first 10 minute \[\frac{62-50}{10}=K\,\left[ \frac{62+50}{2}-{{\theta }_{0}} \right]\]Þ \[1.2=\,K\,[56-{{\theta }_{0}}]\]   .... (i) \[\frac{50-42}{10}=K\,\left[ \frac{50+42}{2}-{{\theta }_{0}} \right]\]Þ \[0.8=\,K\,[46-{{\theta }_{0}}]\]  .... (ii) from equations (i) and (ii)\[\frac{1.2}{0.8}=\frac{(56-{{\theta }_{0}})}{(46-{{\theta }_{0}})}\] Þ \[{{\theta }_{0}}=26{}^\circ C\]
