Two metallic spheres $P$ and $Q$ are made of the same material and have the same smoothness,but the weight of $P$ is $8$ times that of $Q$. If the two are heated to the same temperature and left to cool,then the ratio of the rate of cooling of $Q$ to that of $P$ is:

  • A
    $4$
  • B
    $8$
  • C
    $2$
  • D
    $1$

$A$ hot body,obeying Newton's law of cooling,is cooling down from its peak value $80\,^oC$ to an ambient temperature of $30\,^oC$. It takes $5\,minutes$ to cool down from $80\,^oC$ to $40\,^oC$. How many minutes will it take to cool down from $62\,^oC$ to $32\,^oC$? (Given $\ln 2 = 0.693, \ln 5 = 1.609$)

According to Newton's law of cooling,the rate of cooling of a body is directly proportional to the ........
