- 1A body takes $10\, minutes$ to cool from $60\,^oC$ to $50\,^oC$. The temperature of surroundings is constant at $25\,^oC$. Then, the temperature of the body after next $10\, minutes$ will be approximately ....... $^oC$View Solution
- 2The 'Kangri' is an earthen pot used to stay warm in Kashmir during the winter months. Assume that the 'Kangri' is spherical and of surface area $7 \times 10^{-2} \,m ^{2}$. It contains $300 g$ of a mixture of coal, wood and leaves with calorific value of $30 \,kJ / g$ (and provides heat with $10 \%$ efficiency). The surface temperature of the 'Kangri' is $60^{\circ} C$ and the room temperature is $0^{\circ} C$. Then, a reasonable estimate for the duration $t$ (in h) that the 'Kangri' heat will last is (take the 'Kangri' to be a black body)View Solution
