QJEEM19Ph64b8: JEE Main 2019 Physics - Class 11 JEEM19Ph64b8 Solution: Two identical beakers A and B contain equal volumes of two…
Two identical beakers A and B contain equal volumes of two different liquids at 60°C each and left to cool down. Liquid in A has density of 8 × 102 kg/m3 and specific heat of 2000 J kg–1 K–1 while liquid in B has density of 103 kg m–3 and specific heat of 4000 J kg–1 K–1. Which of the following best describes their temperature versus time graph schematically? (assume the emissivity of both the beakers to be the same)

Step-by-Step Verified Solution
We know, m = V .
where, V = volume and = density.
So, we have
Since, h, (T T0) and V are constant for both beaker.
We have given that A = 8 102 kgm 3, B = 103 kgm 3, sA = 2000 J kg 1 K 1 and sB = 4000 J kg 1 K 1, AsA = 16 105 and BsB = 4 106
A < B, sA < sB and AsA < BsB
\Rightarrow {1 \over {{\rho _A}{s_A}}} > {1 \over {{\rho _B}{s_B}}} \Rightarrow {{d{Q_A}} \over {dt}} > {{d{Q_B}} \over {dt}}
So, for container B, rate of cooling is smaller than the container A. Hence, graph of B lies above the graph of A and it is not a straight line (slope of A is greater than B).
