$A$ wet substance in the open air loses its moisture at a rate proportional to the moisture content. If a sheet hung in the open air loses half its moisture during the first hour,then the time $t$,in which $99 \%$ of the moisture will be lost,is

$A$ body at an unknown temperature is placed in a room which is held at a constant temperature of $30^{\circ} F$. If after $10 \text{ minutes}$ the temperature of the body is $0^{\circ} F$ and after $20 \text{ minutes}$ the temperature of the body is $15^{\circ} F$,then the expression for the temperature of the body at any time $t$ is

The bacteria increases at a rate proportional to the number of bacteria present. If the original number $N$ doubles in $4$ hours,then the number of bacteria in $12$ hours will be: (in $N$)

$A$ spherical balloon expands at a rate proportional to its surface area. Initially, its radius is $2 \text{ cm}$ and $5$ minutes later it increases to $7 \text{ cm}$. What will be the surface area of the spherical balloon after $12$ minutes (in $\text{ cm}^2$)?

Water is drained from a vertical cylindrical tank by opening a valve at the base of the tank. It is known that the rate at which the water level drops is proportional to the square root of water depth $y$,where the constant of proportionality $k > 0$ depends on the acceleration due to gravity and the geometry of the hole. If $t$ is measured in minutes and $k = \frac{1}{15}$,then the time required to drain the tank if the water is $4 \text{ m}$ deep to start with is .......... $\text{min}$.

The rate of growth of bacteria in a culture is proportional to the number of bacteria present and the bacteria count is $1000$ at initial time $t = 0$. The number of bacteria is increased by $20\%$ in $2$ hours. If the population of bacteria is $2000$ after $\frac{k}{\log_{e}\left(\frac{6}{5}\right)}$ hours,then $\left(\frac{k}{\log_{e} 2}\right)^{2}$ is equal to
