$A$ body takes $10$ minutes to cool down from $62^{\circ}C$ to $50^{\circ}C$. If the temperature of the surrounding is $26^{\circ}C$,then in the next $10$ minutes,the temperature of the body will be ......... $^{\circ}C$.

$A$ cup of tea cools from $65.5^{\circ} C$ to $62.5^{\circ} C$ in one minute in a room at $22.5^{\circ} C$. How long will it take to cool from $46.5^{\circ} C$ to $40.5^{\circ} C$ in the same room?

One day in the morning,Ramesh filled up $\frac{1}{3}$ of a bucket with hot water from a geyser to take a bath. The remaining $\frac{2}{3}$ was to be filled with cold water (at room temperature) to bring the mixture to a comfortable temperature. Suddenly,Ramesh had to attend to some work that would take $5-10 \text{ min}$ before he could take a bath. He had two options: $(1)$ fill the remaining bucket completely with cold water and then attend to the work,$(2)$ first attend to the work and then fill the remaining bucket just before taking a bath. Which option do you think would have kept the water warmer? Explain.

$A$ sphere,a cube,and a disc,all of the same material,quality,and volume,are heated to $600\,^{\circ}C$ and left in air. Which of these will have the lowest rate of cooling?

$A$ 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

$A$ cubic metal block of mass $5 \,kg$ and edge length $0.1 \,m$ at an initial temperature of $100^{\circ} C$ is placed on a thermally insulating flat surface and exposed to air at $0^{\circ} C$. The time in seconds required to cool the block to a temperature of $37^{\circ} C$ is closest to. (Note: Specific heat of the metal $= 500 \,J/kg/^{\circ}C$; Heat transfer coefficient from block to air $= 50 \,W/m^2/^{\circ}C$)
