Physics Question on thermal properties of matter
A hot liquid is filled in a container and kept in a room of temperature of 25∘C. The liquid emits heat at the rate of 200 Js−1 when its temperature is 75∘C. When the temperature of the liquid becomes 40∘C, the rate of heat loss is J s−1 is
A
160
B
140
C
80
D
60
Answer
60
Explanation
Solution
Rate of cooling (dt−dθ)=α(θ−θ0)
or(dt−dθ)2(dt−dθ)1=θ2−θ0θ1−θ0
or(dt−dθ)2200=40−2575−25
or(−dtdθ)2=2015×200=60Js−1
