$A$ heating element of mass $100 \,g$ and having specific heat of $1 \,J/(g^{\circ}C)$ is exposed to surrounding air at $27^{\circ}C$. The element attains a steady state temperature of $127^{\circ}C$, while absorbing $100 \,W$ of electric power. If the power is switched off, then the approximate time taken by the element to cool down to $126^{\circ}C$ will be (neglect radiation). (in $\,s$)

$A$ hot body placed in air cools down to a lower temperature. The rate of decrease of temperature is proportional to the temperature difference from the surrounding. The body loses $60 \%$ and $80 \%$ of the maximum heat it can lose in time $t_1$ and $t_2$ respectively. The ratio $t_2 / t_1$ will be

$A$ body cools from $80^{\circ} C$ to $60^{\circ} C$ in $5$ minutes. The temperature of the surrounding is $20^{\circ} C$. The time it takes to cool from $60^{\circ} C$ to $40^{\circ} C$ is........... $s$
