For a small temperature difference between the body and the surroundings,the relation between the rate of loss of heat $R$ and the temperature of the body $\theta$ is depicted by:

$A$ body cools in a surrounding which is at a constant temperature of $\theta_0$. Assume that it obeys Newton's law of cooling. Its temperature $\theta$ is plotted against time $t$. Tangents are drawn to the curve at the points $P(\theta = \theta_2)$ and $Q(\theta = \theta_1)$. These tangents meet the time axis at angles of $\varphi_2$ and $\varphi_1$,as shown in the figure.

$A$ body takes $5 \ min$ to cool from $90^{\circ}C$ to $60^{\circ}C$. If the temperature of the surroundings is $20^{\circ}C$,how much time (in $min$) will it take to cool from $60^{\circ}C$ to $30^{\circ}C$?
