Solve the following problem.
A metal sphere cools at the rate of 0.05 ºC/s when its temperature is 70 ºC and at the rate of 0.025 ºC/s when its temperature is 50 ºC. Determine the temperature of the surroundings and find the rate of cooling when the temperature of the metal sphere is 40 ºC.

उत्तर
Given: T1 = 70 ºC, `("dT"/"dt")_1,` 0.05 ºC/s
T2 = 50 ºC, `("dT"/"dt")_2,` 0.025 ºC/s, T3 = 40 ºC.
To find: i. Temperature of surrounding (T0)
ii. Rate of cooling `("dT"/"dt")_3`
Formula: `"dT"/"dt" = "C"("T" - "T"_0)`
Calculation: From formula,
`("dT"/"dt")_1 = "C"("T"_1 - "T"_0) and ("dT"/"dt")_2 = "C"("T"_2 - "T"_0)`
∴ `0.05/0.025 = ("C"(70 - "T"_0))/("C"(50 - "T"_0))`
∴ 2 (50 - T0) = 70 - T0
∴ T0 = 30 πC
Substituting value of To,
0.05 = C(70 - 30)
∴ C = `0.05/40 = 0.00125`/s.
For T3 = 40 ºC
`("dT"/"dt")_3 = "C"("T"_3 - "T"_0) = 0.00125 (40 - 30)`
= 0.00125 × 10
= 0.0125 ºC/s.
- Temperature of surroundings is 30 ºC.
- Rate of cooling at 40 ºC is 0.0125 ºC/s.

A glass full of hot milk is poured on the table. It begins to cool gradually. Which of the following is correct?
- The rate of cooling is constant till milk attains the temperature of the surrounding.
- The temperature of milk falls off exponentially with time.
- While cooling, there is a flow of heat from milk to the surrounding as well as from surrounding to the milk but the net flow of heat is from milk to the surounding and that is why it cools.
- All three phenomenon, conduction, convection and radiation are responsible for the loss of heat from milk to the surroundings.
