Aim :
The aim of the experiment is to verify Newton's Law of Cooling of different materials and
different liquids.
To draw the cooling curve.

Formula Used :

T(t) = Temperature at time t,

TA = Ambient temperature (temp of surroundings),
TH = Temperature of hot object at time 0,
k = positive constant and
t = time.

Observation :
Liquid : Water

Material : Brass

Result :

From the Equation, we can say that Temperature decreases

exponentially with time from the observation of e -kt term .The cooling
curve of the liquid is plotted. The temperature falls quickly in the
beginning and then slowly as the difference of temperature goes on
decreasing and we obtained exponentially decreasing graph from the
experimental values.

Hence Newton ‘ s law of cooling is verified.
