According to Newton's law of cooling, the rate of cooling of a body is proportional to $(\Delta \theta)^{\mathrm{n}}$, where $\Delta \theta$ is the difference of the temperature of the body and the surroundings, and $n$ is equal to
  1. two
  2. three
  3. four
  4. one

Solution

$\frac{\mathrm{dH}}{\mathrm{dt}} \propto\left(\theta_2-\theta_1\right)=(\Delta \theta)^{\mathrm{n}} \Rightarrow \mathrm{n}=1$
