Q67 / 90 · JEE Main 2023 (25 Jan Shift 1) · Physics

A bowl filled with very hot soup cools from 98°C to $86^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ in 2 minutes when the room temperature is $22^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. How long it will take to cool from $75^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ to $69^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ ?

  • A

    2 minute

  • Correct answer
    B
    1.4 minute
  • C
    0.5 minute
  • D
    1 minute

Solution

From Newton's law of cooling, we have

ΔQΔt=-KTavg-T0

Where, Q=ms∆T, m is the mass, s is the specific heat and ∆T is the temperature change.

Case 1:

∆t=2 minutes, T0=22°C

ms×122=-K98+862-22

6=-Kms70    ...1

Case 2:

ms×6Δt=-K75+692-22

6Δt=-Kms(50)   ...2

Dividing (2) by (1), we get

⇒6Δt(6)=5070

⇒Δt=75=1.4 min

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
