Two solid spheres $A$ and $B$ made of the same material have radii $r_A$ and $r_B$ respectively. Both the spheres are cooled from the same temperature under the conditions valid for Newton's law of cooling. The ratio of the rate of change of temperature of $A$ and $B$ is :

  • A
    $r_A / r_B$
  • B
    $r_B / r_A$
  • C
    $r_A^2 / r_B^2$
  • D
    $r_B^2 / r_A^2$

$A$ cubic metal block of mass $5 \,kg$ and edge length $0.1 \,m$ at an initial temperature of $100^{\circ} C$ is placed on a thermally insulating flat surface and exposed to air at $0^{\circ} C$. The time in seconds required to cool the block to a temperature of $37^{\circ} C$ is closest to. (Note: Specific heat of the metal $= 500 \,J/kg/^{\circ}C$; Heat transfer coefficient from block to air $= 50 \,W/m^2/^{\circ}C$)

$A$ body cools from $60\,^oC$ to $50\,^oC$ in $10\, minutes$. If the room temperature is $25\,^oC$ and assuming Newton's law of cooling to hold good,the temperature of the body at the end of the next $10\, minutes$ will be ....... $^oC$

$A$ bucket full of hot water is kept in a room. If it cools from $75^{\circ} C$ to $70^{\circ} C$ in $t_1$ minutes,from $70^{\circ} C$ to $65^{\circ} C$ in $t_2$ minutes and $65^{\circ} C$ to $60^{\circ} C$ in $t_3$ minutes,then

$A$ 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:

Newton's law of cooling holds good only if the temperature difference between the body and the surroundings is
