$A$ 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 $\,s$)
