The temperature of the body drops from 60°C to 40°C in 7 min. The surrounding temperature is 10°C. The temperature of the body drops from 40°C to T°C in 7 min. Find the value of T
Let $ a_0, a_1, ..., a_{23} $ be real numbers such that $$ \left(1 + \frac{2}{5}x \right)^{23} = \sum_{i=0}^{23} a_i x^i $$ for every real number $ x $. Let $ a_r $ be the largest among the numbers $ a_j $ for $ 0 \leq j \leq 23 $. Then the value of $ r $ is ________.
Let $ y(x) $ be the solution of the differential equation $$ x^2 \frac{dy}{dx} + xy = x^2 + y^2, \quad x > \frac{1}{e}, $$ satisfying $ y(1) = 0 $. Then the value of $ 2 \cdot \frac{(y(e))^2}{y(e^2)} $ is ________.
The left and right compartments of a thermally isolated container of length $L$ are separated by a thermally conducting, movable piston of area $A$. The left and right compartments are filled with $\frac{3}{2}$ and 1 moles of an ideal gas, respectively. In the left compartment the piston is attached by a spring with spring constant $k$ and natural length $\frac{2L}{5}$. In thermodynamic equilibrium, the piston is at a distance $\frac{L}{2}$ from the left and right edges of the container as shown in the figure. Under the above conditions, if the pressure in the right compartment is $P = \frac{kL}{A} \alpha$, then the value of $\alpha$ is ____
Newton’s law of cooling states that the rate of heat loss from a body is directly proportional to the difference in temperature between the body and its surroundings.
Let a body of mass m, with specific heat capacity s, is at temperature T2 and T1 is the temperature of the surroundings.
If the temperature falls by a small amount dT2 in time dt, then the amount of heat lost is,
dQ = ms dT2
The rate of loss of heat is given by,
dQ/dt = ms (dT2/dt) ……..(2)
Compare the equations (1) and (2) as,
– ms (dT2/dt) = k (T2 – T1)
Rearrange the above equation as:
dT2/(T2–T1) = – (k / ms) dt
dT2 /(T2 – T1) = – Kdt
where K = k/m s
Integrating the above expression as,
loge (T2 – T1) = – K t + c
or
T2 = T1 + C’ e–Kt
where C’ = ec
