Hot water cools from $60\,^{\circ}C$ to $50\,^{\circ}C$ in the first $10\, min$ and to $42\,^{\circ}C$ in the next $10\, min$. The temperature of the surrounding is ........ $^{\circ}C$.

An object is cooled from $75^{\circ} C$ to $65^{\circ} C$ in $2 \text{ min}$. The time it takes to cool from $55^{\circ} C$ to $45^{\circ} C$ is [The temperature of the surrounding is $30^{\circ} C$] (in $\text{ min}$)

Two metallic spheres $S_1$ and $S_2$ are made of the same material and have identical surface finish. The mass of $S_1$ is three times that of $S_2$. Both the spheres are heated to the same high temperature and placed in the same room having lower temperature but are thermally insulated from each other. The ratio of the initial rate of cooling of $S_1$ to that of $S_2$ is

Two spheres of radii $R_1$ and $R_2$ have densities $\rho_1$ and $\rho_2$ and specific heats $S_1$ and $S_2$. If they are heated to the same temperature,what is the ratio of their rates of cooling?

The rate of loss of heat from a body cooling under conditions of forced convection is proportional to its $(A)$ heat capacity $(B)$ surface area $(C)$ absolute temperature $(D)$ excess of temperature over that of surrounding. State which of the following is correct:

It takes $1 \, min$ for hot water to cool from $80^{\circ}C$ to $60^{\circ}C$. Find the time taken (in $sec$) to cool from $60^{\circ}C$ to $50^{\circ}C$. The temperature of the surroundings is $30^{\circ}C$.
