Themperature of a body theta is slightly...

Themperature of a body `theta` is slightly more than the temperature of the surrounding `theta_(0)` its rate of cooling `(R )` versus temperature of body `(theta)` is plotted its shape would be .

A

B

C

D

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
According to Newton's law of cooling for small temperature difference between bodyand surrounding,rate of cooling is directly proportional to the temperature difference of the body with the surrounding.

As difference of temperature of body and surroundings increases, rate of cooling

When a body has the same temperature as that of its surroundings

A hot body is kept in cooler surroundings. Its rate of cooling is 3^(@)C /min when its temperature is 60^(@)C and 1.5^(@)C / min when its temperature is 45^(@)C . Determine the temperature of the surroundings and the rate of cooling when the temperature of the body is 40^(@)C

A body is heated to a temperature of 75^(@)C and is allowed to cool. If the temperature of the surrounding is 35^(@)C , then the temperature at which the rate of cooling will be exactly half of that initially will be
