$A$ pan filled with hot food cools from $94^{\circ}C$ to $86^{\circ}C$ in $2$ minutes. When the room temperature is $20^{\circ}C$, how long will it take to cool from $74^{\circ}C$ to $66^{\circ}C$?

Describe the procedure to demonstrate that the rate of loss of heat from a hot body is directly dependent on the temperature difference between the body and its surroundings.

Two bodies $A$ and $B$ of same mass,area,and surface finish with specific heats $S_A$ and $S_B$ $(S_A > S_B)$ are allowed to cool for a given temperature range. The temperature varies with time as shown in the graphs. Which graph correctly represents the cooling process?

$A$ liquid of mass $250 g$ is kept warm in a vessel using an electric heater. The liquid is maintained at $57^{\circ} C$ when the power supplied by the heater is $30 W$ and the surrounding temperature is $27^{\circ} C$. As the heater is switched off,it takes $10 s$ for the temperature of the liquid to fall from $47^{\circ} C$ to $46.9^{\circ} C$. The specific heat capacity of the liquid is:

$A$ body cools from $60^{\circ}C$ to $50^{\circ}C$ in $10$ minutes when kept in air at $30^{\circ}C$. In the next $10$ minutes,its temperature will be:
