Solution
Newton's law of cooling
It states that the rate of loss of heat of a body, is directly proportional to the temperature difference between the body and its surroundings. That is,
Where is the proportionality constant, is the mass, is the specific heat and is the temperature of the body, is the surrounding temperature and is the time.
Knowing , we can calculate .
Hence, Newton's law of cooling is used in laboratory for the determination of the specific heat of the liquids.
