11.20 According to Newton’s law of cooling, we have
= K(T -
Temperature of the surroundings =
K is a constant
The temperature of the body falls from 80
Integrating equation (i), we get
The temperature of the body falls from 60
Hence, we get:
Equating equations (ii) and (iii), we get,
Hence, the time taken to cool the body from 60

Take the case given in figure (b)

From the law of continuity, we have
When the area of cross-section in the middle of the venturimeter is small, the speed of the flow of liquid through this part is more. According to Bernoulli's principle, if speed is more, the pressure is less. Pressure is directly proportional to height, hence the level of water in pipe 2 is less. Therefore, figure (a) is not possible.

11.19 (a) A body with a large reflectivity is a bad absorber. A bad absorber will in turn be a poor emitter of radiations.
(b) Brass is a good conductor of heat, when one touches a brass tumbler, heat is conducted from the body to the brass tumbler easily. Hence, the temperature of the body reduces to a colder value and one feels cold.
On the other hand, wood is a poor conductor of heat. Very little heat is conducted from the body to the wooden tray. Resulting in negligible drop in body temperature.
Thus a brass tumbler feels colder than a wooden tray on a chilly day.
(c) Black body radiation equation is given by:
E =

It does not matter if one uses gauge pressure, instead of absolute pressure while applying Bernoulli's equation. There should be significantly different atmospheric pressures, where Bernoulli's equation is applied.

11.18 Base area of the boiler, A = 0.15 m2
Thickness of the boiler, l = 1.0 cm = 0.01 m
Boiling rate of water, R = 6.0 kg/min
Let us assume the mass of the boiling water, m = 6 kg and the time to boil, t = 1 min = 60 s
Thermal conductivity of brass, K = 109 J s–1 m–1 K–1
The amount of heat flowing into water through the brass base of the boiler is given by:
Heat required for boiling water

No, Bernoulli's equation cannot be used to describe the flow of water through a rapid in a river. In rapid, the flow is turbulent whereas Bernoulli's equation is applicable for laminar flow only.

11.17 Size of the sides of cubical ice box, s = 30 cm =0.3 m
Thickness of the icebox, l = 5 cm = 0.05 m
Mass of ice kept in the box, m = 4 kg
Time gap, t = 6 h = 6
Outside temperature, T = 45 °C
Coefficient of thermal conductivity of thermocole, K = 0.01 J
Heat of fusion of water, L = 335
Let m' be the mass of the ice melts in 6 h
The amount of heat lost by the food:
A = Surface area of the box = 6
We also know
Hence the amount of ice remains after 6 h = 4
