$A$ hot body is allowed to cool. The surrounding temperature is constant at $30^{\circ} C$. It takes time $t_{1}$ to cool from $70^{\circ} C$ to $68^{\circ} C$ and time $t_{2}$ to cool from $60^{\circ} C$ to $59.5^{\circ} C$. Then:

  • A
    $t_{2}=t_{1}$
  • B
    $t_{2}=2 t_{1}$
  • C
    $t_{2}=\frac{1}{2} t_{1}$
  • D
    $t_{2}=4 t_{1}$

$A$ hot body placed in air cools down to a lower temperature. The rate of decrease of temperature is proportional to the temperature difference from the surrounding. The body loses $60 \%$ and $80 \%$ of the maximum heat it can lose in time $t_1$ and $t_2$ respectively. The ratio $t_2 / t_1$ will be

$A$ heating element of mass $100 \,g$ and having specific heat of $1 \,J/(g^{\circ}C)$ is exposed to surrounding air at $27^{\circ}C$. The element attains a steady state temperature of $127^{\circ}C$, while absorbing $100 \,W$ of electric power. If the power is switched off, then the approximate time taken by the element to cool down to $126^{\circ}C$ will be (neglect radiation). (in $\,s$)
