प्रश्न
A body cools from 80° C to 70° C in 5 minutes and to 62° C in the next 5 minutes. Calculate the temperature of the surroundings.

उत्तर
Average Temperature,
T1 = 80 +70/2 = 75°C
Average Temperature,
T2 = 70 + 62/2 = 66°C
We know, that `"dT"/"dt"` = − k (T − T0)
Where, T is a average temperature
T0 is surrounding temperature
`10/5` = − k (75 − T0) ..............(1)
`8/5` = − k (66 − T0) ............(2)
Dividing (1) and (2)
`10/8=(75-"T"_0)/(66-"T"_0)`
T0 = 30°C

An earthen pitcher loses 1 gm of water per minute due to evaporation. If the water equivalent of the pitcher is 0.5 kg and the pitcher contains 9.5 kg of water, calculate the time required for the water in a pitcher to cool to 28°C from the original temperature of 30°C. Neglect radiation effects. The latent heat of vaporization in this range of temperature is 580 Cal/gm and the specific heat of water is 1 Cal/gm°C.
