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

  1. A 10 minutes
  2. B Less than 10 minutes
  3. C More than 10 minutes
  4. D Less than or more than 10 minutes depending on its mass
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) More than 10 minutes

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

From Newton's law of cooling, rate of cooling of substance is directly proportional to temperature difference with the surrounding. So as the temperature reduces, the rate of cooling decreases and time of cooling increases.
