$A$ hot body,obeying Newton's law of cooling,is cooling down from its peak value $80\,^oC$ to an ambient temperature of $30\,^oC$. It takes $5\,minutes$ to cool down from $80\,^oC$ to $40\,^oC$. How many minutes will it take to cool down from $62\,^oC$ to $32\,^oC$? (Given $\ln 2 = 0.693, \ln 5 = 1.609$)

  • A
    $3.75$
  • B
    $8.6$
  • C

Four spheres $A, B, C$ and $D$ are of the same radius but made of different metals. Their densities are in the ratio $6 : 3 : 4 : 5$ and specific heats are in the ratio $2 : 5 : 4 : 6$. These are initially kept at the same temperature and placed in the same surroundings. The sphere which has the slowest rate of cooling is

According to $Newton's$ $Law$ $of$ $cooling$,the rate of cooling of a body is proportional to the
