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.

One day in the morning, Ramesh filled up 1/3 bucket of hot water from geyser, to take bath. Remaining 2/3 was to be filled by cold water (at room temperature) to bring mixture to a comfortable temperature. Suddenly Ramesh had to attend to something which would take some times, say 5-10 minutes before he could take bath. Now he had two options: (i) fill the remaining bucket completely by cold water and then attend to the work, (ii) first attend to the work and fill the remaining bucket just before taking bath. Which option do you think would have kept water warmer? Explain.
