For a system where Newton's law of cooling is applicable,the initial rate of cooling is $R \ ^\circ C/sec$. Find the time when the temperature difference $\Delta T_0$ (initial temperature difference) is reduced to half.

  • A
    $\frac{\Delta T_0}{2R}$
  • B
    $\frac{2\Delta T_0}{R}$
  • C
    $\frac{\ln(2) \cdot \Delta T_0}{R}$
  • D
    $\frac{\Delta T_0}{\ln(2)R}$

$A$ body cools from a temperature $60\,^{\circ}\text{C}$ to $40\,^{\circ}\text{C}$ in $10$ minutes. The room temperature is $20\,^{\circ}\text{C}$. Assume that Newton's law of cooling is applicable. The temperature of the body at the end of the next $10$ minutes will be......... $^{\circ}\text{C}$.

Two spheres of the same metal have radii $r$ and $2r$. They are heated to the same temperature and placed in the same environment. The ratio of their rates of cooling will be:

According to Newton's law of cooling,the rate of cooling of a body is proportional to $(\Delta \theta )^n$,where $\Delta \theta$ is the difference of the temperature of the body and the surroundings,and $n$ is equal to
