Newton's law of cooling states that the temperature of an object changes at a rate proportional to the difference between its temperature and that of its surroundings. Suppose that the temperature of a cup of coffee obeys Newton's law of cooling. If the coffee has a temperature of 205 degrees Fahrenheit when freshly poured, and 2.5 minutes later has cooled to 195 degrees in a room at 70 degrees, determine when the coffee reaches a temperature of 160 degrees.

Answer:

Tt = 70 + 135e^-0.031t

13 minutes

Explanation:

Given that :

Initial temperature, Ti = 205°

Temperature after 2.5 minutes = 195°

Temperature of room, Ts= 70

Using the relation :

Tt = Ts + Ce^-kt

Temperature after time, t

When freshly poured, t = 0

205 = 70 + Ce^-0k

205 = 70 + C

C = 205 - 70 = 135°

T after 2.5 minutes to find proportionality constant, k

Tt = Ts + Ce^-kt

195 = 70 + 135e^-2.5k

125 = 135e^-2.5k

125 / 135 = e^-2.5k

0.9259 = e^-2.5k

Take In of both sides :

−0.076989 = - 2.5k

k = −0.076989 / - 2.5

k = 0.031

Equation becomes :

Tt = 70 + 135e^-0.031t

t when Tt = 160

160 = 70 + 135e^-0.031k

90 = 135e^-0.031t

90/135 = e^-0.031t

0.6667 = e^-0.031t

In(0.6667) = - 0.031t

−0.405465 = - 0.031t

t = 0.405465/ 0.031

t = 13.071

t = 13 minutes
