(d) Rate of cooling (here it is rate of loss of heat)

$\frac{{dQ}}{{dt}} = (mc + W)\frac{{d\theta }}{{dt}} = ({m_l}{c_l} + {m_c}{c_c})\frac{{d\theta }}{{dt}}$

==> $\frac{{dQ}}{{dt}} = (0.5 \times 2400 + 0.2 \times 900)\left( {\frac{{60 - 55}}{{60}}} \right)$$ = 115\;\frac{J}{{\sec }}$.

    A small object is placed at the center of a large evacuated hollow spherical container. Assume that the container is maintained at $0 K$. At time $t =0$, the temperature of the object is $200 K$. The temperature of the object becomes $100 K$ at $t = t _1$ and $50 K$ at $t = t _2$. Assume the object and the container to be ideal black bodies. The heat capacity of the object does not depend on temperature. The ratio $\left( t _2 / t _1\right)$ is. . . . .
