$A$ container contains hot water at $100^{\circ}C$. If in time $T_1$ the temperature falls to $80^{\circ}C$ and in time $T_2$ the temperature falls to $60^{\circ}C$ from $80^{\circ}C$,then:

$A$ body cools in a surrounding which is at a constant temperature of $\theta_0$. Assume that it obeys Newton's law of cooling. Its temperature $\theta$ is plotted against time $t$. Tangents are drawn to the curve at the points $P(\theta = \theta_2)$ and $Q(\theta = \theta_1)$. These tangents meet the time axis at angles of $\varphi_2$ and $\varphi_1$,as shown in the figure.

$A$ vessel contains hot water at $100^{\circ}C$. If it cools to $80^{\circ}C$ in time $T_1$ and from $80^{\circ}C$ to $60^{\circ}C$ in time $T_2$,then:

$A$ body cools from $70^{\circ} C$ to $40^{\circ} C$ in $5 \text{ min}$. Calculate the time it takes to cool from $60^{\circ} C$ to $40^{\circ} C$. The temperature of the surrounding is $20^{\circ} C$. (in $\text{ min}$)

$A$ beaker full of hot water is kept in a room. If it cools from $80^{\circ} C$ to $75^{\circ} C$ in $t_1$ minutes,from $75^{\circ} C$ to $70^{\circ} C$ in $t_2$ minutes,and from $70^{\circ} C$ to $65^{\circ} C$ in $t_3$ minutes,then:
