$A$ heating element of mass $100 \,g$ and having specific heat of $1 \,J/(g^{\circ}C)$ is exposed to surrounding air at $27^{\circ}C$. The element attains a steady state temperature of $127^{\circ}C$, while absorbing $100 \,W$ of electric power. If the power is switched off, then the approximate time taken by the element to cool down to $126^{\circ}C$ will be (neglect radiation). (in $\,s$)

The temperature of a body in air falls from $40^{\circ} \text{C}$ to $24^{\circ} \text{C}$ in $4 \text{ minutes}$. The temperature of the air is $16^{\circ} \text{C}$. The temperature of the body in the next $4 \text{ minutes}$ will be $:$

The temperature of hot water falls from $60^oC$ to $50^oC$ in $10 \, min$. It takes another $10 \, min$ to fall from $50^oC$ to $42^oC$. Find the temperature of the surroundings in $^oC$.

$A$ cup of tea cools from $65.5^{\circ} C$ to $62.5^{\circ} C$ in one minute in a room at $22.5^{\circ} C$. How long will it take to cool from $46.5^{\circ} C$ to $40.5^{\circ} C$ in the same room?

One day in the morning,Ramesh filled up $\frac{1}{3}$ of a bucket with hot water from a geyser to take a bath. The remaining $\frac{2}{3}$ was to be filled with cold water (at room temperature) to bring the mixture to a comfortable temperature. Suddenly,Ramesh had to attend to some work that would take $5-10 \text{ min}$ before he could take a bath. He had two options: $(1)$ fill the remaining bucket completely with cold water and then attend to the work,$(2)$ first attend to the work and then fill the remaining bucket just before taking a bath. Which option do you think would have kept the water warmer? Explain.

According to Newton's law of cooling,the rate of cooling of a body is proportional to $(\Delta \theta )^n$,where $\Delta \theta$ is the difference of the temperature of the body and the surroundings,and $n$ is equal to
