2. 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 you take a bottle of ice tea from your refrigerator with its temperature 35°F. You leave the bottle of ice tea in your room with the room temperature at 90°F and its temperature is 50°F after 20 minutes. Find the temperature of the ice tea after one hour out of the refrigerator.

One easy way to reduce heating (and cooling) costs is to add extra insulation in the attic of a house. Suppose the house already had 15 cm of fiberglass insulation in the attic and in all the exterior surfaces. If you added an extra 8.0 cm of fiberglass to the attic, then by what percentage would the heating cost of the house drop? Take the single story house to be of dimensions 10 m by 15 m by 3.0 m. Ignore air infiltration and heat loss through windows and doors.
