 2061  188 Thermal Properties of Matter Report Error

Solution:

The rate of loss of heat of a body is represented as:

-\frac{ d Q}{ dt } \propto T _{2}- T _{1}

This statement is Newton's law of cooling where the rate of loss of heat is directly proportional to the temperature difference between the body and the surroundings.
