Two circular discs $A$ and $B$ with equal radii and equal mass are blackened. They are heated to the same temperature and are cooled under identical conditions. What inference do you draw from their cooling curves?

  • A
    $A$ and $B$ have the same specific heats.
  • B
    Specific heat of $A$ is less.
  • C
    Specific heat of $B$ is less.
  • D
    Nothing can be said.

$A$ body cools down from $75^{\circ}C$ to $60^{\circ}C$ in $10 \text{ minutes}$. It will cool down from $65^{\circ}C$ to $55^{\circ}C$ in a time:

According to Newton's law of cooling,the rate of cooling of a body is proportional to $(\Delta \theta )^n$,where $\Delta \theta$ is the difference of the temperature of the body and the surroundings,and $n$ is equal to

$A$ body cools in a surrounding which is at a constant temperature of $\theta_0$. Assuming that it obeys Newton's law of cooling,its temperature $\theta$ is plotted against time $t$. Tangents are drawn to the curve at the points $A(\theta = \theta_1)$ and $B(\theta = \theta_2)$. These tangents meet the time-axis at angles $\alpha_1$ and $\alpha_2$ as shown in the graph. Then:
