$A$ black body calorimeter filled with hot water cools from $60^{\circ}C$ to $50^{\circ}C$ in $4 \text{ min}$ and from $40^{\circ}C$ to $30^{\circ}C$ in $8 \text{ min}$. The approximate temperature of the surrounding is ........ $^{\circ}C$.

Two hot bodies $A$ and $B$ have temperatures $100^{\circ}C$ and $80^{\circ}C$ respectively. The surrounding temperature is $40^{\circ}C$. The ratio of their rates of cooling $R_1 : R_2$ at $t = 0$ is:

$A$ bucket full of hot water cools from $75^{\circ}C$ to $70^{\circ}C$ in time $T_1$,from $70^{\circ}C$ to $65^{\circ}C$ in time $T_2$,and from $65^{\circ}C$ to $60^{\circ}C$ in time $T_3$. Which of the following relations is correct?

$A$ body cools from $80^{\circ} C$ to $60^{\circ} C$ in $5$ minutes. The temperature of the surrounding is $20^{\circ} C$. The time it takes to cool from $60^{\circ} C$ to $40^{\circ} C$ is........... $s$

$A$ body takes $5$ minutes for cooling from $50^oC$ to $40^oC$. Its temperature comes down to $33.33^oC$ in the next $5$ minutes. The temperature of the surroundings is ....... $^oC$.

Two solid spheres of radii $R_1$ and $R_2$ are made of the same material and have similar surfaces. The spheres are raised to the same temperature and then allowed to cool under identical conditions. Assuming the spheres to be perfect conductors of heat,the ratio of their initial rates of cooling is:
