    A body takes T minutes to cool from \[62{}^\circ C\] to \[61{}^\circ C\] when the surrounding temperature is \[30{}^\circ C\]. The time taken by the body to cool from \[46{}^\circ C\] to \[45.5{}^\circ C\] is

    A)  greater than T minutes

    B)  equal to T minutes

    C)  less than T minutes       

    D)  equal to T/2 minutes

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    According to Newton's law of cooling rate of cooling \[\frac{\Delta \theta }{t}=K[{{\theta }_{av}}-\theta ]\] or            \[\frac{({{\theta }_{av}}-\theta )}{\Delta \theta }=\frac{1}{K}\] \[\therefore \]  \[\left( \frac{{{\theta }_{av}}-\theta }{\Delta {{\theta }_{1}}} \right){{t}_{1}}=\left( \frac{{{\theta }_{av}}-\theta }{\Delta {{\theta }_{2}}} \right){{t}_{2}}\] \[\because \]     \[{{\theta }_{a{{v}_{1}}}}=\frac{62+61}{2}=61.5\]                 \[\Delta \theta =62-61={{1}^{o}}C,\] \[{{t}_{1}}=T\]                 \[{{\theta }_{a{{v}_{1}}}}=\frac{46+45.5}{2}=45.75,\] \[\because \]     \[\Delta {{\theta }_{2}}=46-45.5={{0.5}^{o}}C\] \[\therefore \]  \[\frac{(61.5-30)T}{1}=\frac{(45.75-30){{t}_{2}}}{0.5}\] or            \[{{t}_{2}}=T\]s
