    A body cools from \[{{60}^{o}}C\] to \[{{50}^{o}}C\] in 10 minutes. If the room temperature is \[{{25}^{o}}C\] and   assuming Newtons cooling law holds good,  the temperature of the body at the end of next 10 minute is

    A) \[{{45}^{o}}C\]                 

    B) \[{{42.85}^{o}}C\]

    C) \[{{40}^{o}}C\]                 

    D) \[{{38.5}^{o}}C\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Using the relation we have                 \[\frac{ms({{60}^{o}}-{{50}^{o}})}{10}=K\left( \frac{{{60}^{o}}+{{50}^{o}}}{2}-{{25}^{o}} \right)\]                 \[\frac{10ms}{10}=K({{55}^{o}}-{{25}^{o}})\]                       ... (1) Suppose the required temperature is\[T\] Then                 \[\frac{ms({{50}^{o}}-T)}{100}=K\left( \frac{{{50}^{o}}+T}{2}-{{25}^{o}} \right)\]                                         \[=K\left( \frac{{{50}^{o}}+T-{{50}^{o}}}{2} \right)\]                 \[\frac{m({{50}^{o}}-T)}{10}=\frac{KT}{2}\]                          ? (2) Dividing equation (2) by (1) we get                 \[\frac{{{50}^{o}}-T}{10}=\frac{\frac{T}{2}}{{{30}^{o}}}=\frac{T}{{{60}^{o}}}\]                 \[{{50}^{o}}-T=\frac{T}{6}\]     or    \[{{300}^{o}}-6T=T\] So,          \[T={{300}^{o}}\]           or    \[T=\frac{{{300}^{o}}}{7}={{42.85}^{o}}C\]
